<VV> Turbo alignment

[Bob & Kathy Gilbert]

I had a somewhat related problem and that was the alignment of the intake on
the chrome crossover with the turbo outlet. I got the rubber coupling to
seal but it is crooked, looks ugly and I'm guessing that it is probably
interrupting the smooth flow of the gas-air mixture.

Anybody else have this problem and have a solution?

Thanks,
Bob

Hi Craig,

I think you're wright that the turbo/air-cleaner assembly is a bit  
off. With mine though what bothers me is the upward angle which makes  
the air filter sit higher then is good for the bracket. Front to back  
is pretty straight I think but mines to dark to check now.
