14b turbo, can you turn it to position it differently?
i have been looking at pictures of peoples setups and it seems like their turbos are angled differently than mine, upon inspection of my turbo, it looks like there a large clamp type deal that can be loosened by a screw, and then i can turn the whole shiny part of the turbo, is this possible, this would help with my wastegate clearance and oil line runnings, i hope you understand what im asking.

There is a small dowel pin that aligns the housings up for the right orientation in a 1G DSM.
I would guess you need to check a DSM forum to make sure, but you should be able to remove or grind off that small pin and spin the housings relative to each other.

i've broken almost every alignment dowel on those damn things! they break off very easy. it can be rotated just fine, just make sure your chra has the feed from above, and the drain from below and you should be fine.
