Default Newage inlet manifold rotation?

Been alot of the high power scoobs with the fmic piping coming into the front of the inlet manifold. How much work is required for this and where do you get the brackets thatchange the position of the alternator to the AC position.

Does anyone have a write up for a bugeye one?

thanks

If you check out one of Frayz's thread he was looking into this, and there is a kit available allowing you to keep the alternator and AC in their existing positions.

Its not worth doing it as its really too little for what hassle it gives. If it was worth doing I would of done it to mine and I have a proper aftermarket intake.

Are you even running a big enough turbo to worry about such a mod ???? I'm sure better gains could be had from just mapping on meths or doing some weight saving, The rotated manifold is mainly a last possible mod and everyone I know with very high powered cars says its not worth the hassle.

The pipe from IC to the reversed inlet's TB now has a much less restrictive, more direct and shorter path, aiding in airflow speed and throttle response. How much of these benefits you'd actually tangibly feel on the road, I wouldn't know.
