Ok I am finally done with my turbo kit but I am double checking everything before I start it up the only question I have is(and remember its my first turbo install and I am very stupid so bare with me) when I bought this turbo which is a turbonetics t3t4 hybrid the compressor side and exaust sides would move freely so that you could point the air discharge any way you want well I got it set up with the oil feed facing up drain facing down and the compressor how I want it so I tighten the bots on the exhaust side and my question is how tight should I tighten them??? also what should I look/listen for when I start it and should I try to prelub the turbo?

 

tighten them enough to where you know they are not going to back out

yes you should prelube the turbo

It's not rocket science... just tighten them nice and snug...

Oh, and as far as "prelubing" the turbo or whatever... I just unplugged my dizzy and cranked it over about ten times before I started it to get the oil flowing... not sure if I did it right but it works fine...

what i did was unplug the coil also, had my friend crank it, and when i knew there was oil to the turbo, i spun the wheel by hand to make sure oil gets oil everything
