TURBO INSTALL GOING SHITTY! need help need someone know knows turbos
Well im putting this ******* T3 tyurbo on my D16z6 del sol si, and EVERYTHING is in the way. I tried switching sides and no luck! There is one VERY easy way to solve my problems but I dont know if I can do it.
The outlet on the compressor housing shoots straight into the block. Is it ok to take the housing off, and spin it 180 degrees around so the outlet shoots to the front? Please say yes
(this will solve all my problems lol.) otherwise this week is going to be HELL

Yes, clocking the turbo is perfectly fine. Just loosen the 6 bolts holding either housing on and rotate as needed. Make sure that the oil return outlet is facing straight down, and you'll be set.

External or internal wastegate? If it's external you can clock the turbo to however you want. You're limited w/ an internal wastegate unless you get savvy and start custom mounting it.

Will it work if the drain is sideways? My educated guess is no

If your drain isnt facing down, gravity will have a hard time pulling the oil out... and you can blow your seals on your turbo...
