question

Post by mx3optidrive »

I have a quick and pretty stupid question. :o

Does anyone know if the compressor housing can be unbolted and rotated 90 degrees? If I mount the turbo how it is now, the forced air outlet is aiming right at my radiator and there is no room for the intercooler pipe connection. If I can rotate it then I will have plenty of room to work with. Any info would be great. Thanks.

I guess I should have said the type of turbo I have in the initial post. I have a T3/T4 and the specs are on my cardomain page. Here is a pic

No one knows for sure? Someone must know.

Yes you can rotate the compressor housing. It's also called "clocking" the housing.
