PTE SCMInstall

[92gsxecl1pse]

Does anyone have a install write up on installing a PTE SCM6152e I picked one up, and was told its a direct bolt up but i noticed its hitting off a bolt that is hanging from my waterpipe. Is there a special pipe i can buy to get to get this turbo installed or is there a manifold that will move the turbo a lil forward closer to the fan/radiator. I would like to get this turbo installed and not end up having to trade for a 20g or something i know that will fit. BTW im also running this on a EVO3 manifold. Any help would be great, Thank you.

Just dent the pipe in. Wont affect water flow.

Get friendly with a ball peen hammer.

That's weird. I got mine to fit with out denting the water pipe. Same manifold as well.

i finally got my turbo installed after smashing up the pipe and everything, and now i got under it to run the oil return line and the return of the turbo is right above the Motor mount/subframe and now im stuck on this snag, any ideas and help on this would be nice, i would really like to get this thing up and running.

Gotta trim the roll stop a little.

hoping it wasnt gonna come down to that, cause knowing my luck ill loose some reinforcement and something bad will happen if i end up trimming it.

When I installed my SCM34, I just tapped the line down a bit with a mallet. No big, just don't go Thor on it.

one of our guys at work said something about clocking the turbo, i guess its where you rotate the exhaust side of the turbo, but i dont see how that would work.

Be careful when clocking the center housing- you can run into a situation where you put the cartridge at an angle steeper than 10* causing it to drain poorly. You can also angle the cartridge in a way which causes the oil drain to kink. Both of these will lead to a rather quick turbo failure.

so its probably just best to trim down the roll stop a little.
