sidewaysdan Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 (edited) does anyone know why the piping on my turbo comes out the top. as i want to spin the housing so i can put my new bonnet on without cutting bits off. ive seen the same kit on a few supra's like the amuse supra but didnt know if there is a reason why the kit is like this.

JamieP Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 Looks like the turbo runs an internal wastegate, id say it would be to do with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaz1 Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 it was done like that because whoever fitted it did not think they had clearance going under, but everyone elses does;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tricky-Ricky Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 You should still be able to rotate the compressor housing, and still be able to bolt the actuator onto it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
