Trouble Installing Megan Exhaust Manifold *VIDEO INCLUDED*

Hi Guys,

I have a S13 SR20 blacktop and I am having a lot of trouble fitting the megan exhaust manifold. For some reason the turbo elbow gets in the way (a lot) so I am not able to fit the manifold to the hot end of the turbo. I hope this makes sense, if anyone has any experience installing manifolds please message me!

yea =/ a lot of guys are saying that I just need to clock the turbo to point it downwards, not sure if I will need some extra parts/material by going that route

your turbo looks wrong for some reason
i know this is a new turbo and a different manifold with no elbow but by looking at it you can tell adding a elbow wont interfere with the manifold.

Hey guys thanks for the replies! I ended up fixing it, in case anyone has this issue again heres a very simple fix:

There is a snap ring located in the compressor housing of the turbo, so that part that kept getting in the way can easily be rotated left or right if you use a good set of needle nose pliers to squeeze the snap ring and then simply rotate the turbo
