Yeah, that's the last resort. One of the bolts is prettttttty difficult to get to on the cylinder head flange. I'm gonna try to get to the last turbo inlet bolt with a universal joint.

Totally made me jealous.

It was sarcasm.

Saw you drive by my work today as I was walking to my car. What happened to your passenger fender?

loosen the compressor housing and rotate it to a section with more clearance? I never had this problem because my 3071R had a smaller cover. I did have special wrenches that I narrowed with a grinder, though. If you rotate the compressor, be careful of the o-ring/gasket in there.
