Hi Craig,
=20
Thanks for the advice. It's been a while since I looked at it so I can't
remember the orientation of the misalignment. I'll check and let you =
know.

Much appreciated!

I think I found the problem with my turbo alignment: The outlet exhaust =
pipe
was slightly rotated which caused the turbo to cock sideways ever so
slightly. That 1 degree twist resulted in the air cleaner end of the
program being shifted to the rear more than an inch. I didn=92t think =
to
loosen that connection; I only loosened the turbocharger base and =
support
bracket. With the outlet pipe allowed to move to a new position, the =
air
cleaner support now sits properly on the left front cylinder head bolt =
and
the turbo is square to the engine. Thanks to all who replied with
suggestions.

Bob Gilbert: If your turbo is misaligned up and down, the large clamp =
on
the turbo can be loosed and the entire compressor side can be rotated to
align to the manifold in an up and down direction. I don=92t have much =
to
suggest if it is a left/right misalignment.

Thanks to all,
