Wastegate rod hitting turbo on ta49 install

[sams86gn]

Trying to put my new turbo on but the wastegate rod is hitting the new turbo like the bracket isn't long enough...here's a picture...notice the bracket holding the wastegate still has a half inch or so to line up with the hole.

you need to clock it
loosen the compressor cover bolts and rotate the outlet of the turbo up

These pacecarta?

yes...those bolts.

You need to bolt up the turbo before you clock the intake housing. That way you can point it right at the intercooler.

Years ago, when I went from stock to a TE44, I had to drill a new hole in the wastegate bracket to locate it in the right place.

Thanks for the help...got it on just waiting for the roads to clear up so I can take it around the block and see if it's any faster

if your chip is for stock it should be reburned for the 49 , wot the chip can adjust but down low before the wideband takes over it will need more fuel ,the blms will eventually adjust to add some based on maf reading but if you just go out and stomp especially when its cold you could go lean quick and hurt something
