New turbo
Yea, I was going to get one, but they said it wouldnt work with my compressor because it would be sitting as low as possible for a top mount like touching the Mani, and would be sticking up to high to close the hood!
But you can always try, if you look jattus turbo compressor is pretty small, and is still tucked to the mani...

hrmm pretty cool, i will have to add this to the laundry list of things i would like to do.
for now iam switching to a welded oil drain fitting and get this my old down pipe will work just need to turn the flange 25'.
If i did the top mount i would make want it to be flipped so the compressor housing was facing the passenger side.

Nice snail! Us GK guys are fortunate to have lots of front end room, I have a GT3076r and there is still lots of room between it and the fans.
With a top mount like the one from Jattus above, there isnt any reason you couldnt turn the turbo around to have the compressor on the left side, it would leave enough room for clearance, toss on a heat shield during daily driving and good to go.

I got it to fit B)

It sits further away from my block than the last turbo

Inter cooler piping will work with out modification aswell
But most of all my favorite picture, and this is because there was more thought going into making this turbo.
The old knock off turbo had a bolt on the bottom of the flange, making it hard to get in because of the bend in the downpipe. The new turbo has them on either side so the bend in the pipe downward doesn't matter.
