My port turbocharger failed. I used the numbers off the old one to order a new one. The old oil drain tube on the bottom of the turbo hits the exhaust turbo chassis. It appears the diameter of the new turbo is slightly larger than the old one. When the oil drain tube is tightened the tube touches the chassis, leaving no room to slide on the rubber tube and clamp. If I install the tube and clamp first, I can't get the holes to line up because the rubber moves the base out of alignment. It appears the angle of the tube needs to be increased or the neck portion extended about 1/2".
I have searched the web for a different tube with attached flange but have been unsuccessful. I have attached a pic of the existing tube; and another pic of the old set up.
Question - Are there different styles (angles) of turbo drain tubes?
