i cant turn it around because of the downpipe. i just want to know if anyone has ever ran into a similar problem. i know the manifold is the problem but it just seems funky.

I dont think the manifold is the problem, it was made intended that the compressor facing the passenger side.
It is your downpipe that is the problem

A downpipe is easier to modify than the manifold.....

Re: turbo JDM GSR... turbo doesnt fit????? (StolenTeg)
even if i turn it around then i have the compressor sucking in hot air from the radiator and i wont be able to put any kind of intake piping on it to draw air from elsewhere. so am i missing something or am i an idiot that should just shutup

That's actually a T04B cover. He won't have any problems flipping to the other side.

Re: (TheShodan)
u dont think so? i've always thought that with any sort of log manifold especially a drag type that the block would have to be notched a bit.

I never notched notched with block with my old rev-hard, and I also never dealt with boost creep with it, I was running a .57 trim and a HKS 40mm WG, never ever had a creep issue.

hmmm, that's odd. I run the same manifold and I hold 10 PSI all the way to redline with a Tial 38MM and Hallman MBC.

Re: (dmotoguy)
i had to notch mine when i had my rev hard. then again i had a cheap ebay turbo. But also with my gf's car she has a revhard log and we had to notch it to fit the 57trim turbonetics turbo. so i guess some are lucky and dont have to do it??

Re: (95dc2teg)
My rev hard mani has never crept either. i know it isnt optimal but not horrible either.
Anyways back on topic. flip the turbo just like everyone else said.
