I have a 1990 F250 7.3 N/A. I'm trying to install a factory 093 turbo. I am having issues seating the turbo to the drain pedestal. While facing the engine looking at the turbo there is about a 16th inch gap on the left side where the turbo mounts to the pedestal. The studs line up in the holes and I can get the nuts on them, I just feel like I shouldn't try to seat the turbo with the studs and nuts.
The hat doesn't want to line up very well either. I feel like the up pipe is barley hitting the engine or something. Is it possible that the clocking is off on the turbo not allowing things to line up? This was a refurbished kit and I'm not sure if something is off.
To top it off my friend noticed the compressor half on the turbo was loose while trying to install. While tightening two of the bolts kept spinning and are stripped. Not sure what to do...
I just feel like the turbo is ever so slightly un aligned. To many hours waisted trying to get things lined up
