*3	Turbo Charger Sub-assembly	-	-
*a	140 mm (5.51 in.) or less	*b	Knock Pin
*c	Hole	*d	Alignment Protrusion on Exhaust Pipe Clamp Side
*e	Alignment Protrusion on Converter with Catalyst Assembly Side	*f	Position Alignment Range

Set a new exhaust pipe clamp to the converter with catalyst assembly.
NOTE:
Make sure the end of the exhaust pipe clamp does not open 140 mm (5.51 in.) or more (standard amount approximately 60 mm (2.36 in.)).
Temporarily install a new nut to the exhaust pipe clamp.
Temporarily install the converter with catalyst assembly to the manifold stay with the 2 nut.
