KA-BOOOOM!

is what i dont want to hear.

so, is there a specific "proper way" to clock your turbo? bolt tightening pattern? hand tight bolts or specific tq spec?

Well what I do is tighten in a star sequence and do it hand tight because the threads are aluminum and the same for exhAust

no problems with that so far? i assumed that you should tigheten in a cross pattern but if thats all there is to it then awesome.

Yeah, no problems but if u think about there are some places u can't torque the bolts down... Depending were u place the housing... Just make sure the housing is flush so it doesn't sit in a angle

more importantly, just make sure the oil out is on the bottom, or as close as you can get it.
