clocking a turbo?
my friend has works on supras and has one and im boosting next week he asks if i now how to clock a turbo i said yea to align it right he says rofl no u need to clock to get oil into bearings ......is he telling a fib?

umm as long as your oil feed is on top and your oil drain on bottom the turbine is fine, which it should be. only thing you should have to really clock is the cold side housing. If your using a top mount manifold you will have to clock the hotside to get the middle right.

dude ur almost always gona have to clock a turbo unless its a direct bolton turbo kit from say dezod or TT but even then it may still need to be clocked. its retarted easy, a few turns w/ a wrench ur friend doesnt seem to knowledge savy on turbos if he says oil drain & feed dont need to be rotated. imagine drain on top and feed on bottom? it doesnt make sense like indana jones 4

Yeah, it's simple. Just loosen the 4 bolts just enough to get the compressor to rotate, then position it where it needs to be, and torque the bolts back down to spec. DON'T LOOSEN THE BOLTS SO THE COMPRESSOR WILL FREELY SPIN, ONLY LOOSEN THEM ENOUGH TO ROTATE IT.
