ok so i installed my self built kit an wasnt recieving boost an what i did was flipped the turbo over so the intake side was on the driver side an it fit better an iwas told that by flippin it its now backwards or sum shit but then i was told theres no such thing as puttin it on backwards..im trin to get to the track sunday so ne help would really do me good thanks!!!

I think what your trying to do is clock the turbo...do a quick search for "clocking turbo" should be what your looking for.

Pictures would help too, possibly a lot. Is your oil supply on the top still? As much detail as you can give about your setup makes it easier to diagnose the problem

no i spun the compressor around so the feed is at the top still an return at the bottom no pics yet

is it going to matter if your return is on the bottom?

yes your return needs to be on the bottom b/c the oil just travels through the line back to your oil pan due to gravity

my oil return is still at the bottom

i think what he is refer to is that he actually had the turbo upside down to how we typically put them into our engine bay. meaning the compressor being to the further passenger side rather than being in the driver side. If this is the case no wonder it didnt fit very well before and now he has it the correct way and he rotated the center cartridge so that the feed is up top and return is ont eh bottom. sounds like you have it figured out now.

...and how exactly do you plan on running your intake and exhaust as well as piping with the turbo that way...?

ummm so your not running a FMU? Please tell me you got the walbro fuel pump. If you havent already destroyed your motor you are lucky. get an 12:1 FMU, a walbro high pressure and buy an FCD from mike.

OMG lol. What did you all put on your car when you put your "kit" on? I hope you didn't just throw on a manifold and turbo and called it a day. Did you install a fuel pump of any kind even? If not, you are lucky your car is still running as of this moment. Take off your turbo and restore it back to stock before you even drive your car again and do A LOT more reading and get the right parts before you put it back on your car.

Hopefully he logs back on to see this thread before he destroys his car. Luckily he hooked the oil lines to the turbo, eh? :D
