I'm sure its to allow a larger turbo to be fitted than can fit in the standard postion.

Make sure you got deep pockets if you want to do it

U will require rotated headers, rotated uppipe, rotated down pipe, rotated turbo, external wastegate, probably custum FMI pipework and a remap to set it all up. Like banny said the most important thing is deep pockets. 3k+ on cost if using new quality parts

It's not worth the extra £'S unless your looking for BIG BHP "BIG" meaning over 500+.
