Hey all.

I just got hold of a t04 turbo. It is a T3 flange and has Super T70 written on it. Thats about all I know? I paid $600 for it down from $1000 from Grand Auto.

Anyway, the problem is, the air outlet is facing the same direction as the exhaust flange, in other words pointing straight at the block.

When I locked at the front casing, it looks like it can unbolt and just twist around. Is it that simple? Or is there something that i've missed? lol...

Cheers, Jack

usually it is that simple, make sure your turbo isnt one of those ebay hand grenades.

I might just get a high mount manifold? Not sure if I have to or not yet...

I never considered it to be an ebay one... How can i check? It's clearly used, but theres barely any shaft play.

thanks, Jack

hmm great. lol. Maybe I'll pass it straight on then. Is the housing or anything worth much to me? Can I take it somewhere to have different internals put in and a rebuild?

Thanks, Jack

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By Duncan · Posted

      Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)

      I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.

      Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
