Stuck turbine housing
 

I have a stuck turbine housing and I've been letting it soak in PB blaster and deep creep to eat the coked oil, but it's still stuck. Any suggestions that won't result in my center section or my turbine housing being destroyed?

I have no experience with turbos, but maybe try heating up the housing
with a propane torch. Getting the housing good and hot should expand it some
and maybe allow the turbine to come free.

You talking stock turbo?
Have you tried to back out the turbine housing bolts already?
There are two that line up with the oil supply and drain flanges.
Just alternate backing the bolts at these positions, and this will help push the turbine housing off the CH.
It may feel like you're damaging the CH, but I have never killed or any of those bolts before.

Non-stock turbo: T60-1. There is only one bolt available to push against the CH and I don't know if I trust it to come off like that.

deadblow has minimal effect

OA torch, heat up the housing flange where the bolts pass through it to a dull cherry.
