The turbine housing, or the compressor housing?

compressor. did i say turbine? Right now there is the compressor housing and the part that all the fittings screw in to. There are six bolts that need to be loosened to clock it, i think. There are 2 bolts that will not come unscrewed. I tried using pb blaster wd-40 and it still wouldnt budge. I have a welding class so i have access to torchs and high temperature flames. Should i try heating the bolts and then unscrewing them? I'll have some pics up soon so you can see exactly what im talking about.

heat 'em up. The bolts have to be loose in order for the chra to turn.

Yeah... but don't go crazy with the heat. The compressor housing has an O-ring in there that I'm sure can get damaged if you exceed the normal operating temperature of the turbo with your torch.
