turning the turbo
Turbo Mini Forums

When I got my turbo T2(new) I found the compressor housing pointing directly at the baulk head. I had a look on TM and found nothing so looked around on the net and came across this

1. Unbolt the 4 bolts that are on the Exhaust housing , don't remove them all the way, if you have a used turbo you might have to tap it to free it so you can turn it.

2. Remove the Ring that is around the compressor housing

3. Oil In and the Oil return need to be up and down like 12 and 6. You can change this a little by 10 Degrees to 15 degrees but no more.

4. I had to rotate the Compressor housing so it was not pointed toward the block.

5. Make sure that you get the Snap ring back in good (if you have one on the turbo) if you don't the compressor housing could come off!



I thought this could be a useful addition to TM
This might be obvious to most people but as everything I look stuff up before I go doing it (just in case).

If this is wrong please correct me or any other advice regarding this.

You've got it all spot on there

As Nic says you're spot on.

Strangely clocking the turbo has been covered in the past, but I can't seem to find any of the old post either.
