Yeah, my buddy had 3 swaps earlier and they all did that, even mine. Weird.

do you know how to correct that or does he?

Dude, did you remove your AIV unit? If not then it will most likely sitting on your Steering rack and cause it to not lined up. I removed my later and fix the problem

No i didnt remove the aiv unit. I was going to remove that but i decided not to right before i put the sr in. If i remove the whole aiv unit, theres a hose going down to the wastegate i think, do i remove that also and just let that off of it or what? Thanks

The AIV pipe runs back to the Turbo outlet, the pipe is what sat on my steering rack. I just took the whole damn thing out and capped it with a plug and it works fine for me
