No no side mount. Look here. Blitz gives one of the best depictions of it on their site.



We may even route the piping above the I/C instead of below. Haven't decided yet.

It can if done improperly with too large or too small I/C piping, improper core sizing (too large), improper crush bent piping or kinks instead of mandrel bends....

Of course if is going to make some difference, but nothign noticeable. If I recall correctly, for every 90° bend you loose ½ a HP. It is so minute. Besides, spool up time can still be kept to a minimum as long as the proper sized turbo is selected in coordinace with vehicle displacement & desired boost levels, along with where you want the power in the band. There are several other factors that can play a role besides charge piping routing.

Should be here tomorrow and so should my injectors and if im lucky might be able to get tuned properly..(but doubt it)
