Turn the VAM (Vane Air Meter) back over so it's upright. Sitting on its side like that might affect the spring-loaded flowmeter.

and be prepared to buy a whole turbo for it if you wanna stay stock (not recommended), as I have heard IHI is no longer selling just "replacement center sections." An SVO T3 would be a better option with very minimal modification.
