Default Need help ASAP with turbo!

I'm installing the turbo back on the car and need to know if I can pull the turbo apart by the clamp in the middle. I'm doing this in the car and it would save me a LOT of work. Just didn't want to do it unless I know for sure. Wasn't sure if there was a gasket or something in there I'd have to replace if I opened it up. Thanks in advance!

You can take that clamp off and do as you wish. No worries.

Sweet! Thanks again guys! Taking that off make it 10,000 time easier installing the kit in the car! It literally took me about 15 mins to install the manifold, turbo, down pipe and dumps. Only problem is I broke the banjo bolt for the oil feed line when installing it, so I couldn't finish mounting the front of the turbo tonight. Looks like I'm going to Napa in the morning! lol
