Have a gt3071r with top mount manifold and 38mm westgate and the ss oil drain line is touching one of the bolts on the westgate and wondering what can be done or if it is ok if is ss line

Reclock the turbo a bit so the line will be away from the wastegate. I wouldnt want that line touching it since the wastegate gets hot.

Thought about it but aint the turbo suppose to be 90 dregree up? Or a few degrees off will be ok?

A few degrees wouldnt hurt, as long as it doesnt impede it from draining by gravity down back into the oil pan.

Thanks. I Moved it about 2 degrees and it sits about half an inch away. That should be enough clearance
