can the housing be rotated?
hey before i buy this turbo off ebay i was wondering if the compressor housing and the exhaust side of the turbo can be rotated so that where the charge pipe exits the compressor points straight down and the flange points straight up because all the tubos i have seen on ebay the flange points up and the compressor piping points towards the engine block???
this would make it hard to route piping myself thanx all-

Rep Power: 289 Yes, it can be rotated, but you must be careful because your turbine blades are fragile - be careful not to nick or bend them when unbolting your housing...

Rep Power: 0 well if your just rotating it you shouldn't have to take the bolts all the way off
just loosen them enough to turn
if you buying a used one they might be a little tight so just put some
WD40 on them and if it comes to it
hit with a hammer
