Turbo reassembly difficulty

I cant merge the hot and cold sides together. I have the pin lined up with the hole while the turbo was in a vice, I tried using a cowhide mullet to tap them together but no luck. I havent tried smashing with great force although tempting. Turbo is vf30. Any advice?

Easy fix fella. As said above make sure 2 faces are clean where the dust sheild goes into housing run screw driver around there also then put light Nickle coat in that grove area. Light amount. Then if you have a propain torch or gas set heat up that edge around exhaust housing. Not alot . All warm to touch is enough. Heat exspands it some put,core on top put bango clamp on let cool. Thats how i do them worked every time was shown how to do that by turbo speacilist years ago. The heat trick on exhaust housing lip is also good for dismantling aswell instead of big hammer bashing it lol

Ok so turns out the new housing is actually a p20 and it wont fit without some machining first. Its seen less than 10k kms so is a total minter if any wants. Im just going to order aftermarket p18 housing i know iv seen them somewhere. Thanks for the help though guys.

From what I remember from Evowrx’s old post almost everything for journal bearing housings would match up whether single or TS and the same way for all ball bearing ones.

Obviously doesn't apply to some of the micro Legacy turbo’s.

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
