i ran into that problem when the whole dam stud came outta my exhaust housing instead of the nut.

ask him i bet the whole stud is coming off with the nut..

if thats the case.. AND the turbo has a PIn on the exhaust housing loosen em off and beat it until you break the pin, if not u can spin it around and get at the other bolts/nuts


make sense?

thanks airtronics-he posted this for me. here the thing, i dont see any stud of any sort. the bolts im refering to are actual bolts. little 13mm ones. some ones that are on the compressor side holding it on there tight. but i cant take them all the way out because they hit the oil and water inlet and outlets. they will only come out about half way until they hit. so there must have been a way for the unit to separate for garrett to be able to get the damn things in there. but when i loosen them all and move the clippy things that compress it all toether jsut like on the compressor side, theres nothing there, like no seam where 2 parts would meet. i tried scrapeing at it with a screwdriver to see if maybe it was just covered in ----, but theres no seem that i could find. jsut appears to be all one piece. only thing i can pull off to clock it is the compressor houseing. any ideas or comfromation on this whole 1 piece deal?

you don't have to take the bolts all the way out to rotate the housings. just loosen them. maybe the housing is siezed? to get those bolts out, you have to loosen them, then rotate the housing so they dno't hit, then remove them.

i tried just looning them and clcking it, but it wouldnt budge. still looks like its all one piece.

im tryin to get some pics, but its kinda hard since theres not much room between the clippy things and the houseing, so the camera has a hrd time seeing in there, but im tryin to upload a few now. i jsut bought a new turbo so it istn of much concern really anymore, but now i have to sell this one, so if it is in fact clockable, it would be easier to sell of course. but anyways give me a few to get some pics...

it was hard to get some pics of in there since there wasnt much room at all inbetween there and plus it wouldnt focus good in there as well as flash shadow being a big issue, but heres what i managed to get....




on this one, you see a little line...looks like it might be a seam. well in person, it looks more like a small scratch made into the metal. its only about an inch ling and goes crooked, so i doubt its any kind of seam

in thsi pic, it almost looks like theres a seam, but thats not noticeable at all in person... in person its all one smooth piece


if you look close you dont see any seam

your tryin to clock the turbo, right? you're supposed to loosen all 6 bolts, not take them out. the metal piece acts like a lock washer, thats why its wavy. if you turn it hard enough, you can clock it. the compressor housing can be a bit of a bitch at times.

Give it hell. That is a seam. It's just stuck. Time for a BFH(big ------- hammer).
