Not with an ac manifold, no. The way the flanged is clocked the turbo wouldn't even bolt up all the way

What manifold should I use? I bought the car set up this way. doesnt have ac. I dont like turbo inlet being so close to radiator.

A non ac one.....

Make an intake for it to draw cool air from outside the engine bay

If I use non ac can I then rotate turbo so exhaust side and radiator heat are on same side of engine bay. With current header turbo very close to radiator and inlet pipe has to cross horizonaly behind radiator. Is it possible to move radiator with h22 radiator relocation brackets to where ac condensor used to mount then I could build cold air intake with behind bumper air inlet.

It shouldn't have to go behind the radiator.... they have these things called bends

And yes, if you get a non ac compatible manifold you can turn the turbo around.
