Yes, I had to reclock both sides to get the turbo on. The compressor discharge sticks forward too far, causing the intercooler to be tilted, and it is misaligned left-right a little too.
To get it to fit properly, it looks like the inlet to the intercooler or the discharge from the turbo would need to be shortened, or the brackets made differently.
Perhaps I should have gotten the S cover.

Yeah, especially with a stock location intercooler.
the same words left my mouth when I installed the same turbo with a G body intercooler
Was not much fun, but it worked at the end of the day.
had to move the whole cooler forward 1/2" I had to make a bracket for the drivers side ans shim out the pass side.
it Can be done but it wasn't easy by any means,
I can post pics after Tuesday if you need them
if you are running the stock fan you have to relocate the resistor and install a piece os rubber between the shroud and fan.
good luck.
p.s. wait till you feel the power this turbo makes.

Car will be back Tuesday, I'll grab some pics
After all the headache, are you satisfied with the results? Or do you wish you put on an FMIC? Or perhaps I should send it in and have it converted to an S cover.......

I made brackets, lowered IC, tilted turbo. Nothing worked well. IC was tilted and so low I couldnt go to Walmart without hitting the speed bumps.
At the end of the day I cut 1 1/2 inches off the IC (PTE strectch) neck going to the turbo discharge. Fits great now. Right height and upipe fits good on TB. DOnt know if I should have done that but it works and you cant tell the difference if you didnt know I cut it.

So yours is the H cover (3" discharge to the intercooler)? Satisfied with the performance of the intercooler with this turbo?
Mine looks like it would work if I trimmed the intercooler about .75"
Post pics if you can.
Bob
Yes.3" outlet compressor.
Like I said...unless you pull the hose off, you cant see where I cut it so I dont think a pic will help. But I feel your pain about fighting it to make it fit.
Unless someone posts another solution get out the sawsall and cut away!:biggrin:
As far as the performance...I have been fighting a miss/pop/bad idle for 3 weeks. Only got to make a few WOT runs with new combo.

I didn't cut mine. I left the driver's side bracket off, though. It's tilted, but nothing I can't live with. No ic fan on mine either. Oh and it is an H cover.
You would think PTE would have checked the fitment of both the 6776 and the PTE SS IC.

I run the Precision 67 Qtrim with the Precision stock location intercooler & after I clocked the turbo it fit perfect? ONLY SMALL Complaint is that the pipe to TB just touches the hood insulator barely. Leaves a SMALL rub mark on the insulator. Other than that works great.
PS: The turbo-intercooler hose was Tight to get on but it wont blow off thats for sure!!

I had a trailer manufacturer cut mine just over 3/4 of an inch . Perfect fit and cut ..no charge and about 30 seconds of his time. I had a hard time finding someone to cut aluminium their chop saw blade was made for it as they manufacture aluminium trailers.
I get the same rub mark! Kinda polishes the up pipe where it rubs.
