Title: Just got my new turbo!!
Post by: Lum on March 03, 2007, 10:56:48 AM
My new turbo has just arrived!:Thumbsup!  
Garrett GT35R :god    Can\'t wait to get it on the car, just gota wait for the engine to be put back together now thanks to waterseal failure!
Got the turbo from a place called Rougepi in australlia via ebay! Paid £800 delivered and it arrived in 3 days!
Quick question about it though, the angle relationship between the T4 exhaust flange on the hot side and the air outlet on the cold side is wrong! Can i just unbolt the cold side and turn it through 90 degrees? Are loads of bits gonna fall out if i do this?

Yep you can unbolt either housing and rotate to suit. Just loosen the bolts until theres play in the housing to rotate, don\'t remove them completely as there\'s no need.

Better undoing the front housing and twisting that.

Yep, only worth touching the exhaust housing if the angle to the manifold is wrong and you need to adjust so as to keep the oil drain vertical.
