i have a bluebird swap with a gt28rs dp turbo, what im wondering is can the compressor housing be spun so that the discharge outlet is facing down to the ground rather than up b/c i dont really like the look of the big loop of hard pipe sticking up, or is there another option (different manifold..etc)
here are a few pics:

its called clocking

you realize you might have to cut and reweld the inlet extension you welded on

You need to loosen the (V-Clamps) On the inlet side to "Clock" the Turbo. After you loosen the V-Clamps it should move freely.

u might need to upgrade that front motor mount to a dog bone for better clearance

ya, clock it. not only is it unattractive, it seems that you would get a little cooler intake temps by rerouteing instead of going over you mani.
