Default Quick Question?

I know this may sound dumb to some, but I want to make sure I don't damage anything. What is the proper way to rotate the compressor housing on a pt80 turbo. Also can someone verify this is a pt80 (got the turbo used) I measures the inlet and outlet and the are both 4" or slightly bigger. I did loosen the bolts on the compressor cover but couldn't get it to turn( but i didn't try too hard, I was afraid to break it.







sorry about the crappy pics, i didn't have my camera with me at the time and had to used my cell phone thanks.

It appears to be a PT80 indeed.

Default thanks Dr Turbo

Thanks for the confirmation, but as you can see some in some of the pics, the compressor outlet exits straight into the hotparts, how can I rotate the compressor cover so it exits into a more desirable location. thanks -Art

I am thinking of an infomercial right now with some crazy guy saying "It's that easy just loosen the bolts and rotate"

Audience member "How does that work"

Crazy guy "Just loosen the bolts and rotate like so"

Audience member "I can't believe it? Its so easy"

Housing might be seated with oil residue....will have to get a rubber hammer and loosen the cover.
