Rotating Turbo Components

aside from things like the oil and water lines, or internal wastgate actuator mounting holes don't line up anymore. can you then simply rotate the the two housings relative to each other? so the compressor outlet and turbine inlet are at different angles?

it seems like you should; and it's too stupid a question to ever get asked, but i have a couple of crazy ideas, and they have to go somewhere...

in over simplified form - yes.

it's called clocking a turbo, if you look it up you'll find a much better explanation than i could ever give, having never done it myself.

thanks! when i first heard the term 'clocking', i thought it might be it. but 'clocking' is used in so many twisted ways too :)
