Loosen the several bolts that go around the housing.. Position where you need, and re-tighten.. It is a common thing...

hi looked at my turbo. what bolts should i loosen the intake or exh bolts? thank you. frank.

 

[turbo buicks]

i would do the intake bolts, the exhaust bolts are probably tighter

 

[turbo buicks]

just dont over tighten the bolts in the aluminum housing as they may strip the housing

you can clock either housing indepentdently. Keep the center section straight up and down so the drain works properly....other than that...loosen what you need and clock the housing. FYI, I only had to loosen my compressor housing and clock it on my 44.

Assuming the turbo is new....

just loosen a bit line it up and tighten...However be careful not to overtighten, because there is both aluminum and cast iron. My suggestion to make later service a breeze is to Antiseeze the hell out of bolts especially the upper two that secure the downpipe. It will save u from tearin up a few bolts after corrosion builds up in there.

I need to re-clock my stock turbo to the factory setting and I also need to set the waste gate actuator.
Help and pictures please

TURBOPOWERED68,

I have some pics of a TA-49 (same external dimensions as a stock 86/87 turbo) that I sold off of my T. Hope you can use them to reclock your stocker.
