well I think I just read every post about clocking turbo's but none of them were specific to the t3/t4 that comes with the star kit and I read things like this, "It's a long process... you have to take your time getting it all ligned up... plus the large snap ring that holds the CRH to the comp housing can be a bitch...." Anyways I'm wondering if anyone has done this because I am tired of my shitty piping and big boost leaks and was wondering if it was easy. Some responses said it was a PITA and others said it was simple, but like I said I don't think any were specific to the star turbo. Also if anyone has done this with the star stage I, can I clock it without actually taking the turbo off? I'm assuming its just a matter of taking off or loosening the 6 bolts or so around the compressor housing, but was reading stuff about some ring on certain turbos you had to watch out for. Anyways this got way to long


edit: if anyones got a star front mount and piping for sale I may take it off your hands

well on my t3/t4 you just have to losen the golden bolts on the compressor housing and turn the compressor so it fits the way you want it too

Yea. If the turbo is new it's about that easy

If not it's a PITA.

Just wondering if there were specific torque specs for the bolts on the compressor housing of the t3/t4 from the star kit?

I'm about to take a can of pb blaster to clock this thing for my new fmic and figured I'd check. Hopefully this won't be bad and I won't have to remove the turbo from the car

Yeah this threads old but I started it and it's related.

TIA for any help
