Is it ok for the compressor housing to rotate abit? Any way of tightening it or is it just circlipped? Could this cause me any problems? Cheers boyo's

It shouldn't move about normally, are you loosing boost pressure?

Ive only just put it on today. Its a t25/t2 and ive come from a t2. I run my t2 at 16 psi and this is set to 16 psi and it boosts and pulls you back but I swear my t2 pulled harder..

Sounds like your loosing boost, is the circlip damaged?

No it all looks as it should mate. Is it just the circlip holding it into place?

Depends on the turbo, get a pic up so we can take a look

Ok so its not the compressor moving. It's the whole thing that spins inside exhaust housing and it is just 1 circlip. Its not like the t2 where it has the two half moon brackets on that bolt up. has no holes on the exh housing for bolts. Unsure on what I can do now...
