Changing turbo compressor orientation

The turbine inlet and compressor outlet face the same direction. Is it possible to swivel the compressor a 1/4 turn to get it to make a right angle with the turbine inlet so I don't have to make crazy turbo piping?

Yup. Loosen the bolts on the back of it and turn it anywhere you want. Can be a bitch sometimes.

Sweet, which bolts? On the compressor or turbine? Sorry, I'm a little new to the whole turbo thing.

Either one. I would bold the turbo down then undo the bolts on the compressor side. But if you oil ports aren't facing straight up and down then you'll have to loosen both sides and set it right.
