Default turbo cooling flow question

on my t-25 i have to clock my turbo enough to clear the fan shrowd for my air compressor, if i turn my turbo around and run my compressor side towards the drivers wheel, i cant get piping in there, SO im forced to do this, well, when i clock it enough to where i need it at, the oil drain flange is on top, and the feed on the bottom.....will this work?? or no

I don't see any way for that to work. The oil feed yes it probably would flow because it's pressurized, but the drain is basically relying on gravity to return the oil back to the pan. So, it's going to have to be facing down unfortunately. What car are you having trouble fitting the turbo and pipes in? And are you talking about installing pipes on the intake side of the compressor housing or the compressed side of the housing?

the feed must go on the top and drain must go on the bottom. I remember someone back in the day put the turbo on upsidedown, it smoked like a ----------er and we laughed at him.
