5.9 turbo

[grumpyb]

I bought a re-man turbo on ebay and had to wait until the weather improved to work on it , and now I find that the oil feed and return line connections are reversed , It looks like the center section of the turbo is reversed 180 degrees if that's possible. Tried to contact the dealer and surprise no response , looks like he sold 3 of these and I wonder if they all had the same problem. I can get an adapter to fix the feed line but am having trouble figuring out the return. Any ideas would be helpful. And yes I already know all the cons of buying on ebay , but , money is money. Thanks

Are you saying the feed is on the bottom and the return on the top? If so, not sure I would run it that way even with adapters? I think it needs the oil running down from the top but I'm no expert so maybe someone else can chime in?

yes that is the way it is set up , the top has a hole in the middle with 2 bolt holes on either side of it. by using the adapter it allows me to put the oil feed line on the top of the turbo as you and I both agree the oil should flow down.
