im looking at different turbos and ive been looking for the answer to this but not finding what i need to know. my problem is that my current turbo has the cold side exit pointing straight down toward the bottom of the car, which is what i need. the problem is that alot of the turbos im looking at, have the same cold side exit pointing in different directions which wont work with my setup. (i have the pfab log manifold.) ive been wondering if i can reposition the direciton that cold side exit points? or am i stuck with the direction it is set to?

 

it will move around

 

ok cool. so do i just unbolt the bolts that are on the back side of the cold side of the turbo and turn in and rebolt it?

 

yea, there are six bolts, 13 mm (at least on mine) and loosening those to move the exit is, I believe, what they refer to as "clocking" the turbo

 

k great! That's exactly what I needed. Thanks for the help guys!

 

I remember when I was first starting out and didn't realized they moved either, and was wondering how I would make it work, lol.

The good ol' days.

 

just go on youtube, there some random vids on how to clock a turbo

 

Haha! For real? Won´t take any more advices from you. Yeah, we all had these problems. Took me a while to understand how a wastegate work...

 

Lol yeah, I felt really stupid like a noob having to ask that. But every time I've bought a turbo for all my cars in the past, they have always been already set in the correct direction. So I never had that learning experience yet. So I deff appreciate the understanding and non flaming hahaha

 

Noob!

Sorry, just though this thread was lacking a bit of the usual callousness.

Play on!
