I clocked my 14b. I didn't remove a snap ring. I just loosen the main band, and reefed on it. I had to modify my wastegate actuator. It wasn't long enough anymore, so I cut it in the middle and tapped both ends, and used one of those 1" long nuts to make it adjustable.

My 14b is off the POS right now
I just loosened the main band, that's to the right of all the oil and water inlets. This allowed me to twist the center section and compressor side together. I angled it so the oil line wouldn't rub the mani, and the oil drain was straight.
Now that I think about it, I actually shortened the wastegate actuater. You can see what I was talking about with tapping it and using a long nut to make it adjustable.
You can see the snapring djfob was talking about, by the AN oil feed fitting. I guess if you remove this you can clock the compressor side independent of the center section.

Let me tell you what a HUGE bitch that snap-ring is. I had to steal a giant pair of ratcheting snap-ring pliers from the Snap-On guy to do mine. The pliers were $80 and he told me to just use it and return it but I never returned it, and it was never on my account.
