Help, turbo-exhaust aligning
I am installing a new wicked wheel and y'all's directions are great. I am having a problem getting the exhaust at the rear of the turbo to align so I can get the clamp back on. Is there a trick to it .....does this clamp need to be on before I bolt the turbo back down........ Any advice sure would be appreciated.

There is an alignment dowel that is protruding from the exhaust up-pipe collector, that has to mate in an indent in the back (at the top, in the center volute) of the turbine housing. Chances are you do not have the dowel in the hole and it is not making the two flanges seat against each other.
