Turbo Help
Is it possible to rotate the exhaust housing on a T34? the comp housing was quite easy as its only a few bolts with braces holding the housing down, but now the actuator bracket dont line up with the wastegate arm so the ex housing needs to rotate so they line up, what do i need to do? had a look and fiddle but i couldnt get the ex housing to seperate from the core is it?

slacken off the bolts on the ex housing then knock core outwards from ex housing to break seal, then spin to desired position and tighten, REMEMBER TO MAKE SURE OIL FEED IS DIRECTLY ABOVE OIL RETURN ONCE FITTED TO CAR, may need to rotate comp housing also

That was my next question danny about the oil feed being uppermost, cheers for that, so the ex housing should spin with the bolts just slackened off? will have to give it another try, what about if i want to swap the housing all together for a .63, is that an easy job? and how much should one cost, are they exchange?

if you slacken the bolts as much as they will go then tap the core outwards from the ex housing it eventually will break free and then can be rotated easily,bolts do not need removing, as far as changing to .63 you car will need remapping and id say .48 is better for road use being on and off boost,.63 will help more high in rev range, but also entirely depends how car is set up. your chosen tuner is best to advise on the turbo he requires to set your car to his spec, cost of .63........... no idea second hand but i can supply new but they aint cheap
