Right then:

I've got a brand new TD04H sat here.
Customer wants is put on a motorbike so I am busy fitting it however:

The compressorhousing interferes with the frame, I can easily rotate it BUT can I rotate it anyway I like or only the two pre-determined positions as dictated by the dowelpin in the housing? I can easily mod it but I'm wondering if for some reason it wouldn't work properly if I turn it in a certain position?

Second problem is the bearingpart: can I rotate that as well?

Last one: there are 4 holes in the bearingpart, one on each side: 1 has a flush surface for fitting a flange, with the holes for bolts, the other three have internal threads and nothing else.

So wich ones are for oil and wich ones for water and wich of the oil ones is the drain???

I'm assuming the flange one is the drain but what do I know...

Hope someone can offer some advice!

The flange will be the drain, and the core must sit with that facing down, the threaded hole opposite that 1 will be the oil feed, and the other 2( should now be on both sides) will be for water cooling
The comp housing can usualy be turned to sit whatever way is most suitable

As above , the bearing housing position will be dictated by the drain (flanged ports) which should not be more than 25% off vertical.(gravitational return)

Oil in the top, and out the bottom.

Everything else is a free for all, just break/remove the dowel pins to accommodate. Obviously you'll need to sort the wastegate after any re-clocking.

Thanks for conforming this!

Very annoying as I had the correct turbo for this bike, but because this guy insisted on another one I had to remove the old flange form the manifold and weld on a new one, rotate the turbo's bits, knock up a new actuator rod to suit...grrr......

So I will use the part with the flange as the oildrain and the one opposite as feed, the rest wil be unused as there's no watercooling on this bike...

About the dowelpin: yes I could remove it but then there's nothing to stop the compressorhousing from rotating on the bearingcore? I can't imagine that the circlip clamps it down sufficiently?

And what might cause it to rotate ?

It's physically bolted and connected to the vehicle. It's all bolted and clamped together.

Even removing that large circlip and splitting the covers can be a right pain in the hole.

It will not move.

The dowel is probably just there from the factory so they always align perfectly on the car they're fitted to
