The oil return doesnt seem right or im just totally lost help would be nice. look at pic see if you see anything wrong

 

you will probably have to clock the center section. Is that a SSAC mani?

 

yea

 

Don't worry that manifold has been known to clock the turbos automatically... just wait a week or two

 

what do you mean clock the turbo?

 

rotating the center section

 

do i do that or like hybrid said it does it auto?

 

loosen all of the bolts that hold the turbine to the center section and turn it until the oil return points down.

all i did was loosen the bolts, i could twist it by hand.

 

you need to clock your turbo anyways because your oil drain is on top

I think i got it thanks for all you help

 

for people who can twist it by hand, your turbos are probably new or rebuilt, mines wasn't

Rofl

 

if thats one of those ssac turbos i dont think it will last that long, lol

 

wh yyou say

 

cuz its trash

 

oh well we will see, but also is the oil line that comes off the block go into?

 

the problem with the turbos that ssac sells is that they arent balanced. so as it spins faster it starts to wobble until it wears out the bearings causing the turbo to break.

the oil return goes to a fitting that is tapped on you oil pan

 

no i know that but coming off the block into the turbo?

 

there are a lot of thread that shows ssac mani and turbo are crap, did you buy the kit off ebay? if i was you, i would ebay it to get as much as you can get back. Take that money and invest it in a good manifold and turbo

Should be on the opposite side as the return fitting. if you dont have a fitting that mates up with your oil feed line, you're going to need to get one.

this is very true, in fact, my roommate just put his back on ebay because of all the stories (a very recent thread created where the turbo fell completely off the manifold, but there are different circumstances in that case). before you put that manifold/turbo setup on your car, sell the manifold and save up some money to buy a better on so you wont be "paying" in the end.
