Hey guys.

Can anyone using the GT17 post up some pictures or explain the position in which the turbocharger compressor outlet is rotated to. I have had to cut my actuator bracket off so that I can rotate it round the manifold (matty manifold) without fouling and was interested before I make a new actuator bracket, what ange people were position the compressor at. Many thanks.

The beauty of the Garrett turbos is that thay can be rotated to wherever you want. My IHI has fixed positions.

Thanks for the replies guys. Well I have mocked it up and started to rotate it. Looks like the best place is facing upwards and poiting at a 45 degree"ish" angle back to the bulkhead. This means that the oult is just clear of touching the exhaust manifold and shouldnt get too hot hopefully.
