#38585, "how to flop oil inlet and outlet"


          

Ok so I was told you could rotate the oil inlet and outlet on the turbo because right now my outlet is on top and inlet on bottom. Anyways I attempted to try and figure it out myself and had no luck after almost 2 hours. So I need to know how I do this. thanks for any help emoji

Thanks,
Chris

well, i guess you could just run it like that if you wanted to lengthen some of the tubes, but it would be weird, i don't think it would work that well. i know it's a dumb question, but, you sure your turbo isn't upside-down? i guess you could try to rotate the center section if you disassembed it, but i've never taken one apart so i don't really know. just throwing some ideas out.

You can rotate the turbo by loosen the bolts on both sides of the housing and compressor where it connects to the center section (I think there are 6 bolts). I did it by just loosening it instead of taking the bolts off completly. I've done both though but taking them off completely is unneccesary.


I wish you a smooth break-in and happy driving.

No the turbo isn't upside down on another car because the turbo was on the back side of the engine, but when moved to the front side for our cars it has to turned over so they are now upside down. Anyways I took 4 bolts off because that was all I could see, They were on the exhaust side, and it wouldn't move. So I was wondering how does it rotate, does it just turn or is it threaded somehow? I'll go mess with it somemore and see what I can do.

Thanks,
Chris
