Well I've had it for about 4 hours and already I'm fishing for more crap. The compressor inlet is 60mm (2 3/8") I can't seem to find a 2.5" to 2.375" reducer, if anyone knows where I can find one of those silicone rings that goes inside the silicone couplers so you can change diameters, I need one. I don't really want to go up to 70mm (2 3/4") for the intake pipe and then have a 2" turbo outlet pipe.
The other viable option is go to a 2" pipe and expand it to the opening, but I don't want to restrict the inlet if I can avoid it.
The turbo also needs to be clocked and I need a new WG bracket.

Why do you need a new bracket for the wastegate actuator ?

Rep Power: 424 It will only work in the orientation that the turbo came in. Which is with the turbine inlet vertical and the compressor outlet pointed up. If I was putting this on an SR20, I'd be golden. But I need the turbine inlet pointing horizontal and the compressor outlet pointing down, so it needs to be clocked, once those holes get misaligned, I need a new WG bracket.
Once I find a wrench that's thin enough that I can get in there and loosen all the bolts to clock it I'll be in better shape to see whats going on with the bracket location. A standard 1/2" wrench is too big to get in there, I either need to find a thin headed one, or take a grinder to the one I have.

I see, well you can prolly fab one up. As far as getting a thin wrench, i had to rotate my housing too.......while it was installed in the car. I took a old wrench and hit it with the grinder.
