Hi Guys,

I have a S13 SR20 blacktop and I am having a lot of trouble fitting the megan exhaust manifold. For some reason the turbo elbow gets in the way (a lot) so I am not able to fit the manifold to the hot end of the turbo. I hope this makes sense, if anyone has any experience installing manifolds please message me!

I watched your video and its a pretty simple fix. Loosen the compressor housing bolts on the Turbo and reclock it so it doesn't hit, and tighten the compressor housing bolts. And test fit.

Hey guys thanks for the replies! I ended up fixing it, in case anyone has this issue again heres a very simple fix:

There is a snap ring located in the compressor housing of the turbo, so that part that kept getting in the way can easily be rotated left or right if you use a good set of needle nose pliers to squeeze the snap ring and then simply rotate the turbo :)

Thats exactly what I meant, only on my Turbo it doesn't have a snap ring...just bolts but you got the idea.
