Would there be any advantage of twisting my MD321T, apart from as you say less pipework.

I wonder if slowboy has seen this post? would be interesting to hear his thoughts on the topic.

I for one would be interested to know what is involved and the cost with turning my manifold around (2002 wrx ) as i have just upgraded to front mount and td05 18g and this would increase my spool up times.

Fitting the magnus inlet manifold either way round is a proper pain I only know of one other car with my manifold fitted in this country and its mikee singh's car and the mechanic at scoobyclinic who fittied it, called it for all he same reasons I know And mikees isn't reversed

I wouldn't have thought so, the MD321s were designed so that you didn't have to twist the turbo, afaik, it is the largest turbo you can have in the standard position. the twisted set-ups are around because the turbos don't fit in the std position

Just spoke to Neil, very helpful and has said that the work involved would give a "negligible" increase, not really worth it in his opinion. So maybe looking at a meth mex to help things along as an alternative.

So what's the benefit of the one you have, would it have been better to go front entry manifold, perhaps as well if the co. do one ?
