Can anyone tell me the deal here, it appears the turbo has been cocked on to the downpipe, because its maybe wrong for the downpipe.
Its not ideal, anyone got any ideas.
Thanks......

turbo says "turbo technics S116"

I think its a .49 tomcat rear housing, mine was the same, i put two or three washers to spread the load and tightened it, helped them not bend.

yeah, make sure its not blowing though. make sure the surfaces are flat and a slight smear of exhaust paste should be ok as its after the turbo, very slight tho. This is more important if you have an afr gauge,
