Default Can I move my turbo?

Ok, I have a sohc greddy kit (15G) And I noticed that the outlet to go into the intercooler looks like it angles slighty toward the engine block. That is going to make it a bit harder for me to do the intercooler piping, now my question is can I turn the turbo housing slightly? If so how is this to be done?

Yes, that's what you do. It's called "clocking" your turbo.

I'm sure if you searched "clocking" or whatever you could find some threads that show you how.

it should be fine in its current position, i dont see how it would cause a problem...do you have the normal greddy piping from the kit? if so, you should see that the main that comes off the turbo, you can just turn that the opposite direction and start from there.
