hey guys i just finished installing my 14b and I'm leaking oil from the oil feed to the compressor housing from the elbow to my ss line. I've been trying to tighten it but i can't get a wrench to reach, is there any simple way or will i have to pull the turbo?
 
You will need two wrenches. One to hold the fitting on the chra, and one to tighten the fitting on the feed line. If you do not have any wrenches small or skinny enough to fit, then you could remove the turbo to manifold bolts and should be able to make enough room to do what you need. The weight of the turbo would be fine to be held temporarily by the down pipe and other lines. Then just bolt it back up and torque to spec. After running a few heat cycles, you will want to re-torque the bolts (only when cold).
