Default is it possible to rotate the 14b compressor housing?

Hi,
i've got a 14b and the compressor outlet aims up currently,
i'm thinking about setting it to aim down, but not sure if I can.

I dont have anything to take off the circlip, so I havent had a chance to see if its possible.

But i'm thinking, wouldnt rotating it mess up the positioning of the wastegate actuator?

just wondering,
thanks.

We've tried it before to get before positioning for the oil feed and coolant lines, but the wastegate actuator arm didn't wanna line up straight with the housings clocked differently.
