Message I'm installing new OEM CHRA's into a set of 5-speed turbine housings I picked up a while ago.

The issue I ran into was the length of the waste gate rod and alignment with the WG flap (whatever you call it). The first turbine I bolted up was about 1/2" long of the mounting point while the other turbo was about 1/2" too Short. I swapped the housings and the first turbo (left) now fits great

And now everything lines up great.

The second turbo however does not. It's about 1/2" short and required me to pull on the actuator rod a bit to attach it to the flapper. Any ideas as to why this one is so short? Are the turbine housings specific to the left and right side turbos?
