inlet adaptor

[1984grandnat]

Guys, what's the easiest way to install the turbo inlet adaptor into the turbo and intake? Whoever did it before did not get it straight, but I want it right this time.

Okay, let me re-phrase that:

...there must not be an "easy" way to do this, so...

HOW do you install the inlet adaptor into the intake and turbo?

Is that better?

Does it go into the turbo first, or the intake?

Anyone who has done this, please let me know....

thanks!

I always put the adapter in first.
Put a little lube on the o-rings, then I use my rubber mallet and LIGHTLY tap into the intake.
You want to keep it going in straight-even. Then install Turbo same way. HTH

Heh heh heh.....yeah, I had to use a prybar to get my turbo off....no way that adaptor is coming out of the housing.... Wish it would though, cause mine it all off on the angle too.
