So this is my turbo, it does not fit as is, and I am not parting with this garret internal precision ![Big Grin](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
Can the front housing in the photo be rotated at all if I unbolt it or will this cause damage. I'm new to the turbo world. So that the charged air outlet is rotated?![Uhh...](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/1387914497.gif)

Will this damage the turbine wheel at all? Do you mean these gold bolts on the top around the edges of the front housing?

Thats what I am looking at. To fit the turbo properly on my current manifold I need to do a 180 on the rear housing... How is it possible to have the oik inlet facing up when mounted on the manifold?

Ok I get it now. What I did was pointless, was a last ditch attempt at getting the turbo to not hit the cam cover. Although the front will come in handy later.
