dman78 1 Posted October 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2010 after fitting i've realised that the manifold & throttle aint going to fit,i've seen a setup with the cold side on the passenger side and facing downwards,so now im asking for help/suggestions peeps Link to post Share on other sites
legvw 0 Posted October 11, 2010 Report Share Posted October 11, 2010 You could face the cold side down, and run your boost pipe under the chassis rail or under the engine. Link to post Share on other sites
dman78 1 Posted October 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2010 [blockquote]You could face the cold side down, and run your boost pipe under the chassis rail or under the engine.[/blockquote]thought about that but that means i'll have to have the air filter on passenger side aswell plus i'll need to get collies as im riding rather low on springs Link to post Share on other sites
legvw 0 Posted October 11, 2010 Report Share Posted October 11, 2010 No mate, i think you've miss understood me!The cold side can be turned seperatly to the center, as can the hot side. Its called 'clocking your turbo'.You can loosen off the bolts around the outside of the ali compressor and rotate it to face it down. Link to post Share on other sites
dman78 1 Posted October 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2010 i've turned it into the position its in,didnt really wanna go underneath but i guess with such a big turbo i may not have a choice Link to post Share on other sites
