Default noob ? here so be gentle

Ive noticed like on TT turbos the intercooler piping coming off the turbo is going across the top of the radiator instead of down like most ive seen. Can't you turn the housing around so that the piping would run down instead of up?
Ive gone throw the search and cant find anything. Just curious..

you prolly could with a bit of cutting and a few couplings and a few t-bolt clamps...

otherwise no, you cant just clock the turbo with those pipes and expect it to fit.

no. you cant due to the fact the pipe is made to a length to go to the top of the turbo. if you turn to turbine housing down the pipe no long fits. so you would have to cut the pipe. but like it was stated this is only with my style of kit. the TT Simple kit. other turbo kits don't do it. so the turbo is clocked in different directions.
