the oil return has to face down, looks like you have the oil return up and the oil feed down. clocking is easy just be sure not to break a bolt off in the exhaust side, and when you put them on tighten the bolts down evenly

yeah, you need to clock that housing 180° as it sits right now. the return HAS to be facing straight down b/c it works off of gravity, the return is not pressurized in any way, only the feed is.

as they all said clock it but make sure the bolts dont break

my buddys broke in that same turbo

Ok so what all has to be remove to clock the turbo, I remove wastegate and band holding the two together, is there any other bolts or anything else kepping it from spinning??? ;D

remove the clamp holding the exhaust housing on and you'll need a huge pair of snap ring pliers for the comp housing
