The bolt has very limited space for me to use a socket to loosen it. What tools do you guys suggest for me to unbolt it with?

hahaha... i heard both side of the story!! Who can i believe? Did i mention this is a T3/T04B turbo?

And there seems to be bolts on the exhaust housing. So once i loosen the bolts. I can rotate it? Does it matter which direction i turn the exhaust housing? ClockWise or Counter Clockwise?

Maybe this picture can clear things up.
Whatever you guys seeing at the bottom picture is exactly what i am looking at.




anyone?

If i can not rotate the exhaust housing. Then how can i make the oil outlet face downward? It's impossible. The only way is to rotate the exhaust housing because the oil outlet is on the exhaust housing.

Bump*

Jesus that's a big turbo!

Loosen up ALL of the bolts in the middle. All of them on each side. Then rotate the inside and tighten the bolts back up.

i have a t3/t04e so i think it's the same... if you loosen all the bolts on the compressor housing you can remove the compressor and turn it in the way you would want it to face. and for the turbine housing just do the same thing you did when rotating the compressor housing. just rotate everything till you get then the way you want them to face.
how do you guys post pictures. so i can show you guys my turbo.
