    Is it reasonably possible to clock the EFR turbos to run an under-routed hotpipe?

    The compressor is secured by Vband precisely for the purpose of clocking. You should be fine.

    Thanks! More specifically; Is there room for the waste-gate actuator to be moved in order to clock the turbo? Has anyone run an under-routed hotpipe with the EFR turbo and Full race exhaust manifold?

    According to: LINK the actuator itself can be moved and therefore the turbo can be clocked any way you like. With so many different configurations of turbo setups in different cars it wouldn't make sense for a manufacturer to make a turbo that's locked in one position.

    Makes sense. I just couldn't find an MS3 with a clocked EFR turbo/ full race manifold and wondered if it was because there wasn't room without hitting the firewall with the actuator or something like that.
