My t3 super 60 just came in the mail today. After a test fit on the manifold I see that my oil port isnt going to be straight up and down. But I cant figure out how to spin the turbine side. I loosned the 6 bolts on the compressor side and it spun around easy. I loosned the same bolts on the turbine side and it wouldnt spin. Am I missing something?
it should spintake em out and then spin it, it should def. spin, make sure youre not hitting the center cartridge

The turbine side is pressed on by those bolts. You can't just loosen them and spin it usually. you have to tap on the housing with a rubber mallet or something to try and looses it enough to spin.

I cant take all of the bolts the whole way out because its watercooled and there aint enough room. I did loosen all of them tho. I tapped it with the mallet a couple times and it spun a little. But then my turbine wheel got all jammed up and wouldnt spin... I tappped it back the other way and it spins fine. Im gonna try again later.
Problem fixed. For every 2 or 3 whacks to make it spin I had to tap it on the downpipe side to level it out. Spins perfect and is at the angle I need.
GAHHHHH it jammed up? check it REALLY GOOD for cracked fins. they are made from exteremely hard material and will crack easily. it may have also bent the shaft a little. just check it really good.

damn and all I did was just loosen the bolts and mine spun around freely...

Nothin is broke and it spins great. I dont know why it was so hard to spin.... Hopefully that means the seals are better and there is less chance for leaks.
