what does it mean, when they say to "clock the turbo"?? what is needed in order to do that. also have any of you painted your turbo manifold

 

clock the turbo means rotating the turbine and compressor housing to where the go in a directions needed...
to do this, you loosen all the bolts(13mm on t3/4) on the turbine and ocmpressor housing, once all of them loose, you can rotate them in whicever directions you need to, or to make sure the center shaft housing is pointed down for the oil return line to fucntion properly.

good luck on keeping the paint on the manifold, it's very hot, most people do swain coating, it's prolly the only thing that works well.....keep it cooler and looks too

 

cool thanks T. my turbo is a T3 60. but i understand what you said, thanks alot
