Default Clocking a turbo

Hey guys, a couple people helped me out on this site (thanks alot) and told me i could clock my turbo so i could choose how it sits. But the problem is, its an rsx greddy turbo and instead of bolts it has a band that holds it together and a guide pin. Would it be safe to grind away that guide pin so i could position it any way i wanted to? Is that band strong enough to hold the turbo together without the guide pins? thanks

i dont see why you wouldnt be able to remove the guide, thats there just so it aligns correctly for the kit (rsx kit) so its a bolt on type deal and then the user doesnt need to clock it correctly

i thinking since its a RSX turbo its made that way for a reason, not being able to clock it, trade it for a B series turbo.
