i know you need the oil send / return up and down, and im pretty sure i had it that way when it first fired her up, but i think shes been moving.

my question is...if i tighten them down extremely tight now, is this clocked enough or does it need to be 100% strait up and down. thanks in advance.

How does the return look?

Its hard to tell from those pics. Generally your more concerned with the oil draining out of the turbo; opposed to the oil feed pictures you posted.

looks allright, you know the idea, the turbo feed looks close the manifold, if you feel like it you can try a heat reflective sleeve over the feed - steal one from a VW motor, they have tons of it or get a 30degree fitting so you can angle the feed away slightly forward. how close is the DP to the rad, in the pic looks pretty close, probably just the picture.

I cannot really tell from the angle of the picture, but a good rule of thumb is to not exceed a 15 degree angle when clocking the center housing.

It looks fine.
