heyy! this might be a noob question but can pls someone answer me this pls.

i have an xs power manifold for my ca18det with an sr20 t25g and on the exhaust side of the housing after trying to put on the factory oem turbo downpipe, i discovered that it hit the bell housing and the corner of the block cuz the exhaust housing side is turned slightly cuz of the way turbo sits on the manifold. if i clock the exhaust side of the turbo by loosening those 4 bolts and turning (clocking) it, when i put it back and tighten everything together will there be a chance of it leaking oil? (i just need to turn it just enough so the downpipe doesnt hit the block no more.)

Is turning the exhaust side of the turbo safe?..i know turning (clocking) the compressor housing is safe but what about the exhaust side? if i can turn the exhaust side i can use my oem downpipe again! :D thanks a lot really need this answered thanks!

Yes it fine.
No there will be no oil leaking.

if everything is properly tightned back down it will be fine.

i think the next issue you will have though is the lower oil return... GL, Yay for CA's
