Default question about compressor (turbo)

I was looking to by a turbo manifold and i asked if this will allow me to keep my AC and PS and the guy said it would but you would have to move your compressor... Ive never heard of anyone doing that...how would you do it?

I think you're talking about 'clocking' the turbo. It means rotating the two halves of the turbo relative to each other so you can get inlets and outlets lined up the best way for your particular setup. Like you can have the turbo outlet pointing up in the engine bay or down for example.

Oh, you meant the AC compressor... You would of course have to have another bracket made or find one. Try http://www.explicitspeedperformance.net/index.html and if they don't have one I'm sure they could make one for you
