T'he housings are the same, but the catridge is not.

I've installed many turbos, but havne't installed the actual slide turbo because I haven't received it yet.

do the lines have enough flex to move them into place?

Are all lines out of place by the same amount - i.e. what about if you rotate the housings?

I can't answer that question in regards to the slide turbo, because I don't have one yet. So is the turbo not a striaght bolt in like it's claimed?

Although, I we did recently rotated the housings on a turbo when installign a top mount manifold. We just loosened the bolts, turned it, tightened it.

this turbo is pissing me off something stupid. if this turbo is for the rb25det hiflow is straight bolt on shouldnt it be that i dont have to rotate it to line up?

now is this going to void my warranty if i rotate it?

As manwhore has stated: Loosen bolts slightly, just enough to remove tension, at rear of housing. Rotate to desired angle then fasten bolts again. Same can be done for the comp/front housing.

Are you sure you are up to this? :(

If you couldn't work that out, how the hell are you going to install the turbo?

Are you modifying the oil line? From what i read there is some sort of mod required.

Do you know how to prime the turbo with oil b4 starting? Otherwise you'll burn the cartridge out and scorch the bearings. ;)

If unsure, and you think it's just; unbolt, slap in, and bolt-up then i HIGHLY advise you to take it to a mechanic.

If i was in Aaron's position, reading this post, i would have voided the warrenty already :wave:

Take it to a good mechanic; it's going to save you money in the near future!

yes i know what to do now. i have to crank the car first a couple times then start it for 10 mins. the oil lines were modified like aaron said. my dad and i are workin on it. just wasnt sure if i could rotate it.

warranty? it should of aligned without me doing anything

as stated above just losen the rear housing bolts slightly and rotate, make sure you give the car a good few cranks before starting it, i personally wouldn't run huge boost until the turbo has done atleast 500k's either let everything settle in, good luck with the install it is a fun job :wave:

ive installed a max over size rb25 turbo from aaron and i found the only line i had trouble with was the water line that connects closest to the strut tower..all i did was chop the metal pipe throw some water hose between it and it gave me plenty of give then..rest of lines should all line up perfect..remember dont bolt the turbo up to the exhaust manifold tight...make sure thats loose gives u more room 2 play wit wen bolting lines up...i wouldnt go rotating the centre catridge...aaron would have sent it to u how its meant to be rotated...but ur choice..
