So i got all my new stuff and I have heard mixed things about tilting the turbo on an angle, i did this to help clear the frame rails. So my question is do you guys think i should get the turbo to sit as flat as possible or will it be fine tilted like i have here in these photos.

.
So let me know what you guys think, should i leave it or should i try and make it flat

"When installing your turbocharger, insure that the turbocharger axis of rotation is parallel
to the level ground within +/- 15°. This means that the oil inlet/outlet should be within
15° of being perpendicular to level ground."
And center housing clocked 20* for best water cooling.
