fitting turbo together

[gtlegacy]

i was putting my td05h 16g together tonight i have the exhaust housing off another of the exact same turbos as mine never came with one

anyways i was putting it together and i couldnt seem to get it to fit right up hard on the 2 faces for CHRA and the exhaust housing can get it to about 1mm and it seems to semi get tight but not really seat this isnt right is it?

as far as i can tell the small heat sheild washer thing is tight

clean up both surfaces with sandpaper and put some anti sieze onto it. You may need to give it a few small taps with a soft hammer to seat them togeather, be careful because its easy to chip a wheel.

yea tried that but it doesnt seem to want to go any further even cleaned it up with a wire brush

okay found the problem the exhaust housing had a large crack on the underside where the mount was on the clamping section got a new housingand measured it and the gap is the same its like the seat isnt deep anough of the collar where the clamp goes isnt thick enough but all lines up and had no problem with it wehn i ran it just has about 0.5mm gap between both faces

I put a subaru rear housing onto an evo 3 Tdo5 16g on the W/e and it also sat .5mm apart, it may be normal i cant remember. I used it and didnt have a problem.

I got a tdo5h in peice in a box for 80bucks, slapped it together and the same thing with the housing Less than a mm out..it didnt have a clamp with it thou so i used one off a vf38 i have on the rebuild..(perfect fit)..the cars daily driven, no boost problems at all.
