Anyways, sorry this is long, I'm just looking for opinions on what I shoud do here.
Ok, well in the process of doing this, I found it easier to just take off the bolts on the compressor housing, get it faced the way I needed and then put the bolts back on. Here's where I run into trouble, exactly where it looks like it's gonna end up staying, The last bolt hole is right up against the oil outlet, not the return line, but the actual part on the center section of the turbo where the oil return goes into, so there is no way I can get the bolt in. Obviously I can't tighten the bolt and then rotate the housing, b/c the bolt being tightened will just keep me from being able to rotate it.
I don't really see any way to solve this problem aside from not putting the bolt in and hoping it seals tight enough with the other 5 bolts. Hopefully if I'm lucky once all the piping is on, I might have a little room to rotate it back, but it doesn't look to promising. TIA guys

yea not sure if it would be bad to leave 1 screw out... try tightening all the other bolts and if the snail piece doesnt move around i think u should be good.. 1 bolt shouldn't really make that much of a difference when theres another 5 bolts supporting it...

Take the oil drain adapter off.

I was afraid somebody I know I should listen to would say that, oh well it's the least of my problems.
