Default procharger outlet

I have a question about my procharger outlet orientation.
I have the PCSC1 with the new (updated) bracket. My outlet is pointing to 3:00. Other photos I've seen (and the installation manual) show the outlet pointing to 4-5:00. Is it because I have a mixed system (Stage I intercooler system and new bracket)
What do I need to do, have the head re clocked (if that's possible) or get a 90* outlet hose to connect to the y-pipe?

I got your PM and if I remember right you will need to adjust the position in order for the oil pick-up to be in the right place.

I will look for the instructions on how to re-clock but I have to leave soon, so hopefully someone can get back with you soon

Thanks,Matt

Great shots, those will help.
Is that a oil drain line in the last photo?

The 1/4" allen bolts around the perimeter of the compressor housing need to be removed and then you can rotate the outlet of the blower 360*. These are the bolts that have "straps" under them.

Thanks for the information. I pulled the blower off the car and have been moving the housing to get it where I need it.
The only odd thing now, is that it looks like most of the prochargers have their outlet at approx. 4:00 or so (mine was at 3:00 ) but using the supplied intercooler hoses (HO/stage I) the place that seemed to get everything where it needed to be (and look like the photos in the installation guide) was around 5:00 or a little more
I guess it doesn't matter as long as it will go together
