Must be a Q trim!, anyhow PTE told me to hold the compressor housing and hit the exhaust housing with a hammer and it will come off.
I never tried it but sounds like a 2 person operation to me!

When a brass hammer won't do it--I use a press. Support the housing and press on the end of shaft. How do you think the shops get them off?

Thats a good question, but im not about to risk bending the shaft to find out! They can do it!

How easy they come off, or at least mine did.
All I was doing with the brass hammer was putting dents in the exhaust housing.

Send the turbo back to the manufacturer. I had a siezed housing at one time. If the manufacturer breaks it, it's on them.

Reputable vendors will usually hook you up ....but you gotta ask BEFORE you break it
