Ive heard that because the Intercooler pipe work is shorter there is less lag if your running a big turbo

Seems a lot of faffing around to get rid of something most people never notice on a properly mapped car?

Thats a load of rubbish, I have seen probs 200rpm spool gain from a front mount turbo with rotated manifold as compared to my normal fit garret

1.5 is the easiest, just turn it round and weld on a wedge (I think it can even be down without any welding, just angled adapter bolted on). As mentioned before, you don't notice the difference and it is ALOT of work (wiring extending/pipe work extending/fuel lines fabricating etc...)

Very nice, planning a simular job in the next few weeks once i get the engine back in.
Had a reversed inlet on my old classic and noticed the difference on spool up etc!

I think every little helps when engine building
