Yeah, there was a broken off stud in the outlet side of the turbine housing that was more difficult to get off than we thought it would be, so we had to drill it out then clean up the threads with a tap. Whoever clocked the compressor housing last time didn't grind off all of the little locater pin so we had to get that out the rest of the way. Also there were some messed up threads in the outlet of the compressor housing, so we had to clean out those threads. Also, the oil feed fitting wouldn't get tight, so we had to use some red loctite to get that to tighten up. Then just as we were finishing it up on Thursday night, the compressor housing popped off because we didn't have it on the backing plate far enough to get the snap ring in the groove all the way.
So it was way more of a pain in the ass than I thought it would be, but it went back together pretty easily on Friday morning. Ken had it all back together by the time I got there at 1, and nothing leaks so I'm happy. Now I just gotta get that coupler so I can put my intake and filter back on.
