hey, i've been browsing the forums for a few days now and i've picked up a lot of info, but i have a question that i'm having problems finding the answer to. as you may know the comp. side of some t25's is different than your average t3 - it kind of bends outward. on most setups i've noticed that the comp. side is usually on the passenger side of the car. is it possible to flip a turbo around so that the comp side is on the driver's side? here's a couple quick pics i drew to help display the problem i'm having.

right now i'm going to have to run charge pipes at a funky bend under the fans and past the downpipe. looking somewhat like this:

if i flipped it around, i'd be at an angle where i could run a more simple charge pipe right down to my FMIC


i'm guessing that the turbine has to spin in a certain direction causing this to not be possible, but i thought i'd ask.

 

doesn't matter either way i like the compressor on the drivers side. makes charge pipes easier

 

alright, so it doesn't effect the spin of the turbine. cool, thanks

 

Mines on the driver side. Soo much easier.

 

i was hoping that's what i'd hear. yes, it will be much easier. thanks

 

yea dude, it totally doesnt matter, go with the easy set up for downpipe purposes as well, itll save you alot of trouble, the turbine is spun by the exhaust gas flowing into the exhaust port, doesnt matter if the suckers upside down, as long as the airs flowing in

Drivers side also... Makes it hella easy for a fmic...

 

hahaha..rustdhalo you homo! Take our *** back to customcivics.com!

 

:P these guys know more about turbo setups than people on customcivics will ever dream of. and who might you be anyway?

 

wait a minute.. stargazer.. constellation. eerie, you ***. stargazer? haha
