How to Un-Clock turbo???

[justanothermp5]

ok so i bought a turbo, mani, and 3 in exhaust from a member at an unbelievable price, BUT.... the turbo is clocked to where the part that hooks up the intercooler piping is pointed down, which, means that i cant use stock coolant lines, stock IC piping or any aftermarket varieties of the 2
not much but i dont want to get into having custom stuff made

anybody know how to unlock the turbo?

Just loosen the bolts behind the compressor housing and you should be able

to rotate it. You also can do it for the turbine side also but it will be much

harder to knock it loose than the compressor.

yea thats what it said when i looked it up
only problem is that there arent any bolts there LOL

ill post up a pic tom. to show u guys what im talking about there are no bolts at all, besides the ones that attach the wastegate bracket to the turbo

If there are no bolt and Metal BRackets....Then you have to Revoe the LArge C-Clip and it will rotate...the re-install the clip.

You need C-clip pliers to do so.

hmm where would i pick up some c clip pliers?
i have some O ring pliers but there kinda flimsy, i used them for the shifter

You will needd big ones...I got a Chep Set at Harbor Freight....Came with multple different sizes in a Plastic blow molded case for like $15.
Worked for me.

alright thanks, ill look for some when i go to autozone i guess


is it hard to move or as soon as u remove the c clip it slides around easy?

[ForceFed]

easy.

You can bend the factory oil lines enough to make them work. The clocked turbo looks much better and removes over a foot of IC piping...
