Default te05h mitsubishi turbo questions...???

i installed a mitsubishi turbo, but i am stumped on how to clock my turbo. the oil drain line right now comes out at just under a 90 degree angle, and i beleive this is why it smoked on startup and sometimes when i shut off the car. the feed line is horizontal also, just not sure how to clock it being an internal wastegate set up.

also i was thinking that my feed line might be too big. its 1/4 inch stainless braided, should i run a reducer in it? could this be why its smoking?

i searched and found nothing at all, but if someone has a link, id MUCH appreciate it!

As long as nothing is attached to the center housing, you can clock the center wherever you want. You just need to keep the compressor and turbine housings in the same spot in relation to each other
