I would always go rotated, the power delivery is more aggressive and feels completely different to a standard position turbo.

Go on banny, I bow to your superior knowledge, why is it more aggressive? Is it due to the. Length of pipework, or another factor?

And I don't suppose anyone knows, but is this "uk tuning" or would this make a. Difference on my special manifolds?

Lol I didnt mean to come across as a know it all, but I would put it down to the bigger exhaust housing and the rotated position allowing for better flow of air.

Of course your manifold will make a difference its a superior design to anything else on the market and optimally designed for spool and power. If I was keeping mine I would have bought one before mapping for 2.2 bar on meth.

How much shorter is the pipework banny? They do a rotated option for my manifolds which I have considered but ruled out for cost v gains reasons....

is it really worth the extra money and work for the figures im looking for though? as I know the kits aren't cheap at all, im guessing if I was to choose rotated that a gt30 billet would be ideal?
