Default Clocking a 14b compressor housing????

Hey guys, i think im going to need to clock my compressor housing to get my setup fitting right. Im using the stock j-pipe and the way the compressor housing is its pointing straight into the frame.

So is it possible to clock the cousing and if so how, and how hard is it to do


thanks guys!

Can't clock it much with the stock internal wastegate. Anyway.. aside from that its the same as a T3 but instead of unbolting the ends from the center section there are snap rings. I need nose pliers should work fine but snap ring pliers are a good tool to have anyway.

Just make a bracket for the wastegate.

The exhaust housing isnt too difficult to clock.
Its a huge pain in the *** to get those snap ring because all the pliars I've seen are too small. I once used a giant pair of channel locks to grip around the small pair of snap ring pliars. That made it really easy, only the pliars (sp?) do tend to fly.
