i just got my turbo today. i noticed that the oil drain appears to be on top of the turbo when its bolted to the manifold. can i safely remove the 4 bolts on the compessor housing and rotate it to the correct position?

so you agree? i did a little more looking around and i think it can be done with out throwing off the balance of the turbo,thats my only concern. its nice talkin to someone other than myself.thank you

don't need to remove the bolts, just loosen them and rotate everything to where it needs to be and re-tighten. clocking has nothing to do with the balance of the turbo, you are merely rotating the housings around the center section.
