Stupid turbo question

[G.W BUFFALO]

I'm gathering what i need to do my turbo install and not knowing anything much about turbo's i need to ask questions. My first question is if i remove the bolts circled in red can i just rotate the compressor housing to a diferant angle and also can i remove it for cleaning and paint and is there a gasket or o-ring in there that i will need to replace.. Id rather ask first then regret taking it apart later..

I would think so and yes there should be a gasket or an oring inside there

I'm afraid it may be a hard to find gasket or o-ring, hope not but who realy messes with these things anymore..

 

[redneckaggie]

make youre own gasket or oring, that is what I had to do for that rayjay turbo. you should be able to buy bulk gasket material in sheets then mark and cut with a razor blade. As for the oring just buy a bulk one about the same size, gaskets in the intake side shouldnt be a special material I wouldnt think

So all i can realy do is take it apart and risk it??

 

[redneckaggie]

thats all I know to do

Well ok then thanks for the help..

If you loosen those bolts you can rotate it. I would not take it any looser than what you need to make it fit. Painting it is pretty pointless.
