Modifying the Factory Turbo:

1. The factory turbo cartridge must be clocked (rotated) in order to correctly

mount the assembly in the new location. The oil drain must be at the

bottom of the cartridge when the turbo is installed on the ATS manifold.

To do this, the alignment pins inside on the cartridge flanges must be

removed. To access the pins, the turbine and compressor housings must

be removed from the turbo cartridge. Before disassembling the stock

turbo, make two indexing marks on the turbine housing and the

compressor housing so they can be realigned.

Alignment Pins

2. Remove the wastegate valve actuator by removing the e-clip that retains

the rod on the lever and the two nuts that hold the actuator on the

compressor housing. Disconnect and discard the rubber hose.

3. The factory preload on the Wastegate adjustment rod is set to 1/16" on

03-04 trucks and .1/4" on 04.5-07 trucks. The Aurora Plus – 5000 system

operates best when preload is set to .312" (5/16"). To allow for

adjustment of the preload, drill out the small notch on the wastegate clevis
