can anyone tell me which why i should twist it to increase boost.
clockwise or anti clockwise?
here is a picture of the old turbo in the correct orientation.

The question which comes to mind is what did you do to ensure this turbo won't fail any time soon? Turbochargers generally do not wear out , 90% of failures are down to the oil supply . did you fit a new oil feed pipe and make sure large quantities of oil pumped out when you cranked the engine? Just wondered ..
