    FT require re-clocking?

    I've got a new FT F21L I'm trying to swap in today and it looks like it needs to be re-clocked. The coolant line doesn't align correctly with the WG mount (see photo). Is this a normal required step?

    Drill a new hole in the actuator mount plate to align with the line bracket nut.

    Unfortunately it's not that simple. If the waste-gate flange doesn't align properly the turbo support bracket and the SAI hard pipe attachments aren't going to align either.

    Thanks for the help. Loosened the hot/cold side and rotated the center section. Worked perfectly.
