I am in the process of making a custom turbo job (don't worry, it's not a Honda...hehehe). I have chosen to use a turbo off a TType. The problem is the angle where the compressor and exhaust intake aim are not where I want them to be. Can I remove the bolts and turn either the compressor, the exhaust housing, or both? I realize I will then have to fabricate a new bracket for the WG actuator, but will I run into any other snags?

It's sometimes called "clocking" the turbo. You can adjust it quite a bit with no problems (other than the bracketry for the WG).
