For proper fitment, the turbine and center housing have to be aligned just as they were on the stock turbo. Using this cheap bubble level, we were able to measure the angle of the oil drain flange with the turbine intake flat on the ground (or a roll of duct tape) and duplicate that alignment on the Potato. The compressor housing alignment was based on alignment of the wastegate actuator and clearance of the manifold. We had to flip the actuator bracket around backward and trim the stock exhaust manifold heat shield, but nothing had to be fabricated to make this fit.
