im in the process of finishing my new turbo setup and i need to clock the mid section of the turbo so that the oil inlet is facing up and the drain down,,,after lossening the bolts it wont turn,,it seems really tight too like not gunna move,,i dont understand cuz its supposed to be mint and theres no shaft play at all and it spins great,,,any help would be great

what kind of turbo? something garrett based with the "straps" with a bolt at each end? You'll need to loosen both housings in order to do this, but after it's loose, try sticking a pry bar in the outlet on the compressor housing and gently moving it to see if the housing might be stuck from being in that position so long.

precision=garrett based.
take off the brackets completely, and try freeing the housings from the center section of the turbo with a rubber mallet, or rotating the housing by using the wrench inside the compressor outlet. you're not gonna harm anything as long as you're not beating the shit out of it.
