The turbo housing has already been rotated as can be seen in the last picture. The outlet on an MD turbo always faces the passenger side of the car so this one is facing the drivers side. Not rotated as in a garrett turbo i think you mean.

looking good chris.still going to be running unequal length headers?

Hey Jimser, yes still going to be running unequal headers been told this will give better tourqe....always open to more advice tho..possibly going to be running 10% menthanol still debating or just run pump fuel..not too sure yet looking at the pros and cons..While the motors out I'll paint the heads, also. The alternater bracket still to be modded as is all the pipe work.I need to get it running and put miles on it,then it's back for the mods ie manifold,front entry, newage maf on blow thru and pipe work. :P:D

Regards

Chris
