New turbochargers – Day 12

Today I spent a few hours playing with my new parts.

Out with the old

I took the driver’s side turbo off, separated it from the exhaust manifold and I bolted the new passenger side turbo up to the passenger exhaust manifold.

Clocked correctly?

One thing I am a bit curious about, the turbo has a divot that looks to be intended for exhaust manifold clearance. The turbo housing appears, however, to be a few degrees off and is making contact with the manifold. I will need to recheck this once it’s on the car to make sure the turbo is clocked correctly.

Time invested: 3 hours
