I recently recieved my new t3/t4 for my car and just realized i have no clue how its gonna fit... I'm planning on getting a tubular top mount manifold but i'm not quite sure how the intercooler piping will be routed. Will i have to rotate the compressor/exhuast housing of the turbo to angle things right? i feel so dumb at the moment. If anyone has a picture of their setup with a top mount mani w/ turbo, then please post as well.

Yeah you'll have to rotate the core in relation to the hot housing for the oil drain, and you'll also probably have to rotate the compressor housing too. This can be a real arse if you are using an internal wastegate as the actuator bolts to the comp housing so rotating it causes problems.

How you route the IC piping depends on what IC you have but the turbo outlet is in roughly the same place regardless of top or bottom (?) mounted all be it pointing in a different direction.

If i get my digi camera back ill post pics of how i did mine. You just have to aim the compressor outlet so that you can run a pipe to the front of the car.
