      turbos suck and blow... kinda hard to blow if you are not sucking.

      Basically, it allowed him to rotate his intake 180 degrees so he can run a vmount intercooler setup and have much shorter piping. Also, because the year of the intake manifold did not match the upgraded turbo, the turbo inlet would have hit the intake manifold and therefore it needed to be rotated a little bit.

      A caged 400hp RWD car that weighs in around 2700 pounds? Yeah, I'd say it's going to be a fun ride!
