you should be able to loosen up the bolts on the side of the housing and slide it all around and set it up however youd like.

I did that thanks... now what about the other side.. I tried taking pressure off the large snap ring... but it wouldnt turn.. I cant line up the wastegate actuator now.

you might have to take that wastegate off, weld the flap shut and use an external one

take that snap ring off, it should turn. sometimes on used turbos they get kind of stuck but w/o the snap ring there is nothing holding it in place.

x2, you need the snap ring off...and they can be a PITA to get off, once out it should turn pretty easily

i had to use some right angle needle nose pliers, ground down a bit, zip ties, screw drivers, a small block of wood, lol, i was like a regular mcguyver
