are you just wanting to rotate the compresser?if so i think all you have to take out is the snap ring that you have in your pic.i might be wrong but i think thats all i had to do when i clocked my t25 from the sr.

Silly Me I had assumed he had removed the snap ring and was saying it still would not turn! My luck the guy is off cooking his turbo and it still wont turn. I guess I figured he KNEW he had to remove the snap ring to clock it.

He is right about the snap ring. Get some heavy duty ones cause I know Sean and I had to grind some of his regular pliers just to take it out.

Now I am only used to seeing a RWD setup--and he states he is putting it on a FWD --but is that turbo on the manifold backwards?

--If the turbo was rotated, would it still need to be clocked?

He has a stock exhaust from the pulsar. He has a few options. A new manifold and downpipe, or use the same old manifold. Either way, the exhaust system will need modification

thx for replys guys,

Djliquid, you keep saying i will need modification, i will not the stock downpipe will fit fine and i will need an adaptor to connect to my current exhaust, maybe a chop or 2 there but i wont need extensive mods to get the exhaust to work

91rs13- i need the exhaust downpipe to go to the left of the engine as my motor mount on the FWD car is different....

it seems that the circlip is friggin welded in there.... not really but stuck just as good...any ideas ???
