you will want to use a restrictor.... sometimes clocking a turbo thats been used is tough.... a rubber mallet and some tapping should get it to move.

I have tried a rubber mallet for like 15 min tryin to get it to loosen up,i cant get it to budge!This thing has the little oil inlet on the bottom and the big outlet facing up when its bolted on my dezod manifold!So i have to clock it to run it this sucks!How hard can hit the turbo to loosen it up and were exactly should i be hittin?
