did you mean going custom turbo? if so you'll probably need to go custom downpipe as well. go check out this place in the DIY section

http://www.roadraceengineering.com/

a "j" and "U" + exhaust flange should do it.

You will need to get one made. Take it to an exhaust shop and prey they can make a flage for the exhaust housing. If you have the o2 sensor housing it makes things a lot easier.

Jeff, that is a pick from below, it could be shorter but his oil return is on the bottom of the turbo. Good job, bamboo. Nice DP.

His center section needs to be clocked at an angle, and the hose needs to be shortened. The thing is aimed directly down.
