I'm considering an AWIC with a vertical clock outlet on the turbo like the attached pic. I've never done any turbo clocking so I'm unsure of the process and long term consequences. Are there turbos that can or cannot be clocked like this?
I'm specifically interested in clocking a Blouch 1.5 Dom XTR or ATP GTX3071.
I'll either use a EWG on the uppipe and lock off the IWG, or use the ATP GTX3071R with the built in EWG.

Are there any long term consequences to the bearing oiling or water cooling to consider to a vertical clock? Is this a difficult procedure?
Thanks for your advice!

As long as the oil drain is straight downwards you can clock it however you need for the application. In addition you can even get around that if you use a pum to assist the drain, but if the pum fails you will burn oil like crazy !
