Quick Question About Clocking A T25g (sr20) For A Ca18det Need Help!

heyy! this might be a noob question but can pls someone answer me this pls.

i have an xs power manifold for my ca18det with an sr20 t25g and on the exhaust side of the housing after trying to put on the factory oem turbo downpipe, i discovered that it hit the bell housing and the corner of the block cuz the exhaust housing side is turned slightly cuz of the way turbo sits on the manifold. if i clock the exhaust side of the turbo by loosening those 4 bolts and turning (clocking) it, when i put it back and tighten everything together will there be a chance of it leaking oil? (i just need to turn it just enough so the downpipe doesnt hit the block no more.)

Is turning the exhaust side of the turbo safe?..i know turning (clocking) the compressor housing is safe but what about the exhaust side? if i can turn the exhaust side i can use my oem downpipe again! thanks a lot really need this answered thanks!

Clocking the turbine housing isn't going to hurt anything. Just be careful not to damage the shaft or wheel when you do it, as usual. Just keep the cartridge vertical, feed on top, drain on bottom.
