Default New Turbo Alignment

When I got my 27/6 conversion back, the compressor/body/hot sections were all loose. Because I will be installing the down pipe with the turbo already heat wraped, I won't have access to the body/hot section bolts to tighten after aligning in the car. Any suggestions on the best way of aligning these out of the car?

Because the compressor will not be wraped, I can align it in the car.

Thanks

Here are a few picture from 2 years ago when i removed my K26/6.

See the oil inlet center hole VS the middle bolt on the turbine housing.
Its a good reference point.

Hope this helps

The mounting flange of the center section (oil exit) should be perpendicular to the turbine inlet flange.
The compressor section can be “eye-balled” to fit the orientation of the exit hose.

Anyone know the torque specs for the compressor to body and the body to hot section? Or a link?
