    if it's a factory turbo it might have a pin to keep it from being clocked, which means you'll have to pull the housing off and remove the pin (just fyi if it's an oem turbo)

    thats what I keep telling him. Get a new turbo. Hitting it with a hammer like some of you are suggesting is just plain stupid, have any of you ever worked on a turbo before?? His housings are cast iron and they will crack.

    I suggested heat, I will torch it up tomorrow for you, just remind me.

    Oh and if I get it off you owe me lunch, I will do it during lunch.

    Bad idea. If it blows it can tear apart his freshly built motor.

    1. Get a room at the Marriot hotel on the top floor.
    2. Open window.
    3. Drop turbo out window.
    4. If it doesn't work, repeat step 3.
