First off, I've done quite a few searches and have tried all the solutions provided on them. I'm in the middle of the install at the moment and need some more help than what I've gotten from the threads so far.
I'm trying to get my oil drain line pointing down at 6 o'clock and have loosened the bolts on my compressor housing and can freely rotate my compressor housing. However, the center housing (the middle piece with oil drain) will not move no matter what force I place on it. It seems that the other threads suggest that the compressor housing and center housing usually move together once loosened. I've loosened the other end but cannot remove it as I have 2 bolts that are being blocked by the oil drain from the center piece.
I've been hitting it with a rubber mallet, but am pretty afraid of breaking something in there.. Should I just be using a bit more force to loosen up the center piece?

You need to loosen the bolts on the turbine housing, and use some needlenose pliers to squeeze the large snapring on the compressor housing while you try to rotate the CHRA. It can be difficult without the right tool. I ended up buying some huge angled needlenose from Harbor Freight and grinding a slanted edge into the tips a little to grip inside the snapring holes better. Don't even try it with a small set of needlenose, you will hate life.
