Clocking External WG

[dalatinromeo]

So when installing my FP3150 I couldn't get the side nipple of the WG pointing forward towards the front of the car because the nipple kept hitting the exhaust manifold. So to get the install done I installed the wg on the turbo with the side nipple under the exhaust mani and towards the engine.

I thought the heat was going to burn the vac line but I wanted to finish the install. So a week after my install I'm driving I get on the car and the boost goes towards 18 psi and keeps climbing so I left off the gas because I had it set at 14 psi so I was wondering why did it go up. I check the lines and I see the vac line starting breaking apart.

How did you guys get the nipple towards the front everthing I tried didnt work?? I was thinking maybe I can "clock" the top of the WG but I wasn't sure. I know the top part comes off so you can change the spring so I thought when taking it off. I can clock the top of the wg. IS this possible??? I just don't want to take off the wg to find out it can't be clock.

What wastegate? If you look at this pic you can see, just undo the bolt and rotate the nipple>

I can't really picture what you mean otherwise. If you can swivel the entire wastegate base (depends on your piping) go for it.

I can snap a photo later to explain better.

It's Tial 44 WG. If I rotate it forward the nipple hits the exhaust manifold. Sorry I really can't explain it I'll snap a picture later.

What about using a -4 stainless braided brake hose for a vacuum hose? They will hold up to the heat much better.
