Clocking an IHI VF39(STI turbo)
 

Hey guys has anyone gone about clocking a VF39 or other subaru turbo before? There is a little clamp for the turbine housing i took off, but that thing is practically welded on. It is gonna need some serious pb blaster and hammering. and I unscrewed the bolts from the compressor housing and i cant get that to move at all. Any idea why the comrpessor housing will not move? :( Thanx guys.

heat it up with an oxy torch then carefully use a hammer. btw if it doesnt come off even u will chip your wheels

why would it chip the wheels, are the ceramic?

what about the compressor housing? That is what is puzzling me. I know the turbine will be stuck, but after taking the bolts out of the compressor housing it still wouldnt budge. Doesn't look seized up or anything.

you should just sell it to me lol. Do you have pictures? maybe it has a seal on the inside that u cant get off without a little hammering?
