I found this American site with a 2011 Sti with a garret Gt35 in standard location- Can this be easily accomplished on a Lhd Gc8? Is there enough space with reservoirs located on other (wrong) side, or do you still need to rotate?

Opinions and scepticism welcomed

 

Yes, there are a few companies offering GT35 based hybrids that will fit in the stock location. They are however laggy, don't produce the same numbers as their rotated cousins and generally aren't used in great numbers on this side of the water.
Most of them will require an external wastegate setup but a few have internal gates.
Here are a few options.

Martyn, what kind of power can be seen by standard location turbo's? I'd like to go rotated but it fries my brain.

 

Tbho given I had to grind my block down to fit the ET S206B turbo which is basically a GT30 sized unit I would think trying to get a 35 sized one would be hard work and as Martyn has already said the lag and low numbers just doesn't make it worthwhile at all!

There are plenty of 500+ standard location turbos on the market including mine.

 

As above numerous scoobys running over 500bhp. From standard position turbos.SJ.

What version are modifying the block? I think Lateral and Scoobyclinic are doing great things with Billet right now... I love the discreet, standard "Look" more than rotated
