If I am picturing this right, then the intake side would be below the exhaust side of the turbo? This would cause the oil to lay against the inner seal and would start to leak. now you can loosen the bolt on the turbo and spin the housing almost any way oyu want as long as the waste gate actuator can line up so that it works the right way. andrew wagner Quote: : : Can a turbocharger be mounted with axis 60 : degrees : upward relative to the plane of the crankshaft? : Seems like there is no reason why not. : Pressurized oil feed to bearing. : I pickup two mopar garret turbo's today.
