cold pipe angle

[Mr. Spool]

I have a top mount turbo manifold on my ka and am wondering if I can turn my turbo housing so that the cold pipe is angled down instead of out. Thanks.

Yes, commonly called "clocking" the compressor housing.

Loosen the bolts on the back of the compressor housing (typically 6-8 of 'em), and rotate as desired.

This is also needed if your center section isn't basically straight up/down (within 15 degrees), with respect to the oil intlet/outlet...Now would be a good time to make sure that's all aligned properly.
