Problem with putting the bottom silcone booty on

[qws2000]

The problem is the pipe doesn't seem long enough from bottom of intercooler to the turbo... Can I get longer silicone booty's???? Or can I some how move the turbo towards the floor (rotate) and that would give me the extra room.. If it maters the turbo is 6466 and intercooler is RJC 315 FMIC..... Thanks

if you loosen the bolts around the cover you can rotate the housing, it looks like it should fit fine with some tweaking.

James, I think I did that, First off the bolts were loose (snug at best) I could not get that turbo to move, should I loosen the clamps on the ball bearing side also?????? AL

the cold side will spin if you loosen the bolts
rotate it downward
and yes you can get long run silicone adapters

Did you disconnect the wastegate actuator before you tried moving the housing?

I hate to say it but I left it connected... Thanks Turbo T... I was going to pull the turbo off, you can see the wastegate is pulling down... I have been informed it should be straight

Having this same exact issue after just installing my TE44, going to try and rotate in the a.m. Not sure if my oil line can stretch anymore though.

Rotating the compressor side won't affect the oil line.
