Default T34 Turbo - Spinning Housing and best Actuator

Hi Folks, I have a T34 turbo that has been rebuilt by CR Turbo's (Gadgets old turbo) now what I would like to know is

- How do I go about turning the exhaust housing round? It is currently setup for a cosworth and I need it to go on an ERST manifold. Having looked at the pics below it looks like I just need to turn the exh housing, is it just a case of taking off the nuts that have the bracket attached to them and turning it? Reason I ask is when searching through posts people mention about it unbalancing the turbo will this be ok to spin without affecting the balance?

- Does it matter which way up the cold side is ? as in will it make a difference whether it points up or down? I know the core has to be right way up so that the oil flow goes in the top and out the bottom,

- Finally does it matter what actuator I use, The difference between a -31 and the -34 is the spring, What would be best on a Zetec Turbo running around 25psi of boost? Any ideas?
