Loosen bolts on the back of the compressor housing and rotate with hand???

If you want to do it the hard way, I hear putting the turbine in a vise and then putting a pipe in the compressor outlet and wacking it with a mallet will do the trick. It can also destroy your compressor housing...

still need help with internally gated t3 being clocked

I bet it has a snap ring, I used to have one like that and I couldnt get it to move either. You need some snap ring pliers, they arent that much $$.

wheres the snap ring located

I don't think the T3 has any snap rings. I had to build up a serious brace to hold the thing and then fabbed up something to bolt onto the exhaust inlet to get it to move. Just have patience and be gentle, and remember leverage is your friend. Greater leverage force > seized T3. Use lots of PB Blaster, if you haven't already. Let that thing soak overnite in it. And don't put a pipe inside the coolant ports unless you plan on re-tapping the threads later.

i finally broke it loose by backing out the bolt that hit the housing slowly. when they backed out the pushed the turbine housing off. thanks for the help guys
