Re: Loose compressor side..
well for starters you have a massive exhaust leak at the turbo manifold flange... just look at the carbon on your wastegate clamp.

Re: Loose compressor side..
I'm aware of this.. My last post deleted after I hit back on the browser when it failed to log me in, but it stated that the inlet gasket was **** but thats already known. My concern is why the center section is moving.

Re: Loose compressor side..
I had those bolts fall out on me bringing my car home one day. Some how I didn't eat up any fins. I went and bought new bolts and used loctite on them. I called precision for a Tq spec and all they had to say was just tighten them down. I cranked on mine pretty good to be safe. Got to remember how hot the turbo gets and metal expands. Mine moved a lot and then when it cooled down it was tight again. Did you loosen those bolts to clock your turbo when installing it? Might just be coming loose from when you did that.

SC61 - Precision
I noticed my flex pipe hanging low again recently, last time it was due to the bolts backing out of the four bolt flange due to the heat I can only assume.
I jacked the car up and the flex pipe wasn't loose, I went to the turbo and wiggled the piping on the turbine side and the turbine housing is moving up and down and can be rotated a bit.
I checked the bolts, and from what I can see right now and feel - they are tight.
I'm running out of ideas, but it doesn't move as much on the ground as it does in the air.
Below is the area I'm speaking of which it moves, could this be something easily fixed or could it be a major issue? The turbo only has around 1,000 miles on it if that.
