hello im having a problem with fitting the hot pipe elbow (the pipe that bolts to the turbo and goes to the intercooler) to my sr t25 turbo.the problem is the flange is about 2" away when the pipe hits the manifold (i have the ss manifold) the elbow wont bolt up at all what can i do. can the compressor side of the turbo be clocked a few degrees? and if so how do i do it (snap ring plires ?) or should i just get like a 2" flange made to fill the gap?

thanks for the help mike

You will need to clock the compressor housing using snap ring pliers. Next time please search, as this has been answered before.
