clocking a turbo
does anyone know if you have to clock a turbo if you take it off the manifold but put it right back on the same one?. I read something about it but i am pretty sure i dont have too. It was saying something about making the angles right with the manifold. My manifold was cracked so i took it off to get it fixed but now i have to put the turbo back on and dont want to screw it up.

No. Clocking is done only if shit doesn't line up or doesn't position its self right. But if u are puting it back on the same manifold on the same car and motor U should be fine. Maybe u were thinking of priming? Thats really never a bad idea.

Re: clocking a turbo
thank you for the information. priming? thats where you make sure oil goes into the turbo right by taking the feed line out then putting it back in? My buddy was talking about it one day but i dont remember what he said i will google it..thanks again

Re: clocking a turbo
Just hook everything up as usual and pull your fuel pump fuse. Thry to crank it acouple of times,only for about 2-3 sec. a time to cycle the oil through the turbo.
