turning the turbo around

[strion]

apparently when you turn the turbo around for cooler piping reasons the bolts where the dip stick goes....
how do i turn it around and wat other complications are there...

[StarionChef]

undo the circlip inbtween the housings and with a bit of force the compressor housing will rotate. Move it to whatever angle you want.

Arn't you using a TD04?
What cooler are you putting in?

[strion]

nah im using a hi flowed tc06...
and the cooler just fits in between the front bar mounts...
so after it is turned around where does the dipstick thing bolt onto???
or does it just hang there?
???

I think you'll need to make a bracket for the wastegate actuator too.

this is something i want to do in the future too. i think my heatsheild is in the way when i rotate mine tho :?

[Paradoxx]

the heat shield 'shouldnt' be in the way (i cant see why it would be, but dont quote me), i have seen a few that have been turned around quite easily. The dipstick shouldnt be affected either. You can however get an extension kit for the dipstick so you dont have to reach down next to a fairly warm turbo to check the oil, it extends the dipstick up level with the rocker cover.

:D Strion as chef said, i went through this a couple of months back,yes
you do have to make new brackets for dipstick and actuator and also
cut and bend heat shield away from cooler piping. also when moving the
turbo around there is some slight resistance as it rides over a bump
nothing to worry about though :D

not that this is important but that little bump is the compressor housing locator pin ... (yes... i am being a post whore posting useless information)
