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

its an rsx turbo (t517z) so it sits on top of the manifold, where as i need it to sit on the bottom of my manifold so i could put it on my b-series

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.
