Help with turbo mounting and vacuum lines

(1/3) > >>

Hill1430:
I am finally getting my car back together. I purchased a new stock replacement turbo from GN1 Performance. After getting it installed the inlet neck doesn’t line up with the intercooler very well. Did I mess up somewhere? The intercooler is down as far as possible. Is it a turbo problem? Should I have had my original rebuilt? Or am I making something out of nothing?
Also would it be a problem to replace a hard vacuum line with hose?

1KWIKSIX:
Re-clocking the turbo should help however you might also want to consider installing an offset silicon hose.
They even have reducing offset hoses if it’s needed for 3 different sized hoses in your case.

Hill1430:
I did not know you could clock the turbo. Thank you so much! I will consider both options. Anyone have a suggestion on the hard vacuum line?

1KWIKSIX:
Silicone vacuum hose is what I use

Steve Wood:
Yes, clock it and use silicone hose
