Dunno about the blitz turbo but that tutorial only shows how to rotate the wasgate side, (not the compressor side)and you have to give it a few smacks of a hammer and chisel to prise it open,but be careful the chisel doesnt go through the wasgate housing lol

no the pipe is small and angled. There is only one way the pipe wil fit. Ben told me to rotate the turbo and just want to no how altho he did try to explain lol in one ear out the other. the blitz front mount piping doesnt mess about just straight in and out

to rotate the compressor housing you will have to take the turbo off which is abit of nightmare!i don't think its possible to do with it on the car. the space is too tight. if you plan to do it there is a big cir-clip at the back of the compressor housing, once thats off you will be able to move it round. its been a while since i took my CT9 to pieces but im sure thats the way i could do it.

I think you could clock it without taking it apart or even removing it; simply rotate the compressor housing downwards. I don't think the CT9 has a locating pin, I know my brothers CT20 does but I've had to semi-clock the turbo to move it out the way when removing the bottom left mani-head nut and it moved freely/fine.

The CT9 has a locating pin mate, sounds like yours is broken if it's rotating freely.

Ah maybe mine doesn't have one then! Was a Turbo Technic rebuild and has a different compressor housing as well! So who knows! lol
