STS turbo clocking? I have searched the threads and found lots of useful information but cannot seem to find an answer to my question. I have also called STS and after a few weeks still have not got a clear answer. So here is my question:
Can i rotate the position of the oil inlet and oil outlet on the 67 trim STS turbo?
Loosing the 6 compressor bolts on the intake side of the turbo allows me to turn that intake compressor housing, but when I loosen 6 bolts on the exhaust side i cannot rotate that side?
Thank you very much for your help and all the other great information out there about these kits

Some penetrating oil will help too.

Second that on the penetrating oil!
If she still gives you trouble after that use a small butane torch and see if she won't loosen up then BUT be careful on how warm you get it and any eng. oil that may be on the outside of the housing!
A small butnae torch will not get anywhere near as hot as an acetelene(spelling?) torch and should not damage anything.
