I'd like to clock the compressor 180 degrees.
From the videos I've seen on youtube, I'm to loosen the 2 bolts and spin the compressor.
Well I've loosened the bolts but am unable to spin it at all.

Thank you!

There's a giant circlip on the back of the compressor housing. You will need pretty mega circlip pliers. I used the ones in this pic:


They're the 85mm to 140mm knipex ones.

Thanks smy003, will have to get some next weekend and give it a go. Appreciate your help.

They are horrendously expensive here, I got mine from Germany through eBay for $50 or a bit less.
I could always post mine up If your want a lend of them, I'd have to look into postage costs to see If that was at all worth your while.

T25 now clocked as below.



I'm going to alter the coolant hard pipe and reverse a hose for clearance and make a bracket to mount the wastegate actuator. Happy the turbo fits in its newly clocked position but may alter the angle slightly.

Next up I'll mount the t28 that I purchased from Vince and see how much clearance I have from the rail with that. One can never have too many options

Special thanks to smy003 for posting me his circlip pliers but unfortunately they were too bulky for my t25 so I ended up using a cheap set from supercheap which were smaller and slim enough to get to the holes without hitting the turbo core. The bigger pliers did come in handy for the t28 though, so thanks again smy003.

Ahhh shame about them being to big for the t25. I could mounevre them into mine but there has probably been 100 different circlips used in t25. Glad to hear you got some use out of them though!
