Who here has done this?
I'm sitting here looking at the engine bay and have decided to go an entirely different route than everything i have seen. However, the problem is that the turbo on the Contour is clocked differently than what i would like to do. I'm reading up on this, but thought that I would ask.
One thing that I can't seem to find online is the torque specs for the housing bolts.

Clocking a turbo = rotating either the compressor housing or turbine housing relative to the center shaft housing. This way you can rotate the housing relative to eachother

What he said. But remember the housing is Aluminum so don't go f'en crazy on tightening the bolts.

this is what it looks like before (notice the exhaust inlet to the left on it)  and this is how I clocked it  And I had to spin the cartridge about 180 degrees.
