By clocking the turbo you remove a 180* and a 45* degree bend from the piping. That does make a difference, not to mention that you don't have the intercooler piping looped over the hot exhaust manifold.

Yes or No? -------------------- QUOTE(lagos @ Jul 10, 2006 - 1:55 PM) [snapback]454118[/snapback] i know your trying to do the right thing for your motor, but this is one of those times where you should just trust the guys who have had their swaps for a while and have done a ton of research into this. |
