ok on my SOHC turbo project I am using an hf mani and a custon adapter plate that is a plate a peice of exhaust tubing and then the t3 flange. I was wondering that is I angled it so the turbo was at about a 15 degree angle I could make the downpipe a lot simpler and not have to cut into my front x-member. would this present any problems the turbo bieng tilted?

thanx guys sorry this is my first turbo anything before

ne one??

 

im not sure exactly what you are trying to explain but the turbo can go in almost any angle as long as you clock the turbo so that the feed line and return oil lines are perfectly vertical

 

not tilted front or back but at an angle on its side....but I think what I am getting from your answer is a no I can't do that

 

you don't want to tilt the turbo because you can blow your turbo seals. it won't feed or drain properly
