tatep82 Posted November 16, 2013 Posted November 16, 2013 Just had a nightmare rotating my turbo to miss the oil filter and one of the pipes coming from the housing is wanting to sit where my manifold is any ideas please? Can I cut it down to size or ....Thanks Quote
tatep82 Posted November 16, 2013 Author Posted November 16, 2013 im sure its the oil return but that should be facing the floor, im struggling with pictures to put on here as my photobook wont work Quote
tatep82 Posted November 16, 2013 Author Posted November 16, 2013 Yup it's deffo the oil return mate but it's facing towards the mani, I guess you have to rotate that too so it's facing the floor? Quote
Socks Posted November 16, 2013 Posted November 16, 2013 on the TD04... You need to rotate all three parts of the turbo.. Compressor needs to point down.Core, return needs to point straight down.Exhaust Housing, will need rotating to suit whatever angle your downpipe has been made too! Quote
tatep82 Posted November 16, 2013 Author Posted November 16, 2013 Thanks socks! Best get her lubed up for some good old tugging. Quote
tatep82 Posted November 16, 2013 Author Posted November 16, 2013 Any pointers on how to make it a bit easier? Will I need to remover the fins inside the tubby? Quote
Socks Posted November 16, 2013 Posted November 16, 2013 Any pointers on how to make it a bit easier? Will I need to remover the fins inside the tubby? Nope... The Core Stays in tact.. Your removing the housings off each side and spinning them! The Core (shaft, turbines, bearings, seals) is one piece. Don't take that apart... It will be stuborn. You will need Oxy Cet to get the exhaust housing off and a rubber mallet! Quote
tatep82 Posted November 16, 2013 Author Posted November 16, 2013 Ok matey thanks for the reply will see what I can do :-) Quote
Matt1878 Posted November 16, 2013 Posted November 16, 2013 Ok matey thanks for the reply will see what I can do :-) Hope you get it sorted mate ... Give it a good ding with that mallet ;) Quote
tatep82 Posted November 16, 2013 Author Posted November 16, 2013 cheers matt! ill give you a good ding with the mallet too for getting rid of your v haha. Quote
Liam_D Posted November 16, 2013 Posted November 16, 2013 If you're struggling to rotate it, ill do it for you! Quote
ROTABOOST Posted November 17, 2013 Posted November 17, 2013 They are a pig to get the exhaust housing separated lol! A combination of heat and the air chisel worked a treat to shake it loose on mine Quote
tatep82 Posted November 17, 2013 Author Posted November 17, 2013 Thanks for the offer Liam (top man) . After a bit of heat she came off a treat and she's now fitted to the car :-) I'll have to try get some pictures up on my build thread but photobook never wants to work with me and no one looks on my progress anyway sad times!

Matt1878 Posted November 17, 2013 Posted November 17, 2013 Photobucket is easy dude!! What's up with it?... When do you think your first drive out will be? Quote
