    well when you turn it round the pipe will still be at the back LOL so not really any cleaner looking.im fitting the vr inlet manifold to mine to get rid of the rear hose setup and building another one of these reverse TB setups like i just finished for the vb turbo will post a better pic maybe tomorrow its all finished and cleaned up looks cool

    thats a good thought lol :P
    i might go with same idea i think hope you dont mind me stealing your ideas lol
    wouldnt happen to know where a good place would be to get mls (metal layer steel) head gaskets and rough prices?
    or would normal ones be ok for low boost with a set of new head studs?

    im running stock unopened engine stock original gaskets no worries most people dont have issues till over 14psi with headgaskets 18 psi is where they really start to blow.headstuds and stock gaskets will be plenty if you arnt going to high on the boost

    great work i plan the same thing for mine all my own work and stuff prob going to have the turbo a lil more to the front tho
    do u have to cross over pipe running around the back of the engine or around the front between the rad n engine i have seen it both ways but backs neater i think
    also like ur waste gate position easy to get to unlike some kits i have seen
    what elecrics did u have to replace? u need a new map sensor and a tune but is there anything els?
    just trying to get a bit of a list so i can get it all sorted as i go
