I have run both setups both are good but i personally like the way the rotated turbo setup spools up and comes on full boost on my 2.35 build...If you have the extra money spare the rotated set up is nice but only if you are looking to achieve big power levels otherwise its just a waste of money,as good power can be achieved with a standard position turbo.SJ.

Melted piston 1 and 3 due to lack of fueling, so now gonna get a swirl pot fitted and also gonna so syvecs rather than Alcatek, it will be running 2.1, 860cc injectors, front mount, decat etc. So I dunno what turbo to get........ I'm guessing either the gt30 of gt35

Gava, have you fitted or fitting a parallel fuel setup? I fitted one to my Bug when I replaced the turbo due to the OE setup causing cylinder 3 to have possible fuel issues.

Honestly, I'd just look at an MD321V if that's your goal of 500. You'll also make more on a meth mix on top of that. I was toying with the idea of rotating my LM Twinscroll turbo but I can't see any huge benefits to it in comparison to standard positon. You can do away with the crap inlet tract stepping up and down by running the larger compressor housing on the V (76mm) and using 76mm intake hose. With that in mind it's a smoother inlet tract and still a GT30 sized turbo so no real need to go rotated other than ***** waving.

I think in your situation it's going to come down to cost. I don't see any huge benefits which would sway you to go rotated when a standard fit turbo will achieve your goals.

When I was planning to replace my turbo I did some reading up. From what I saw cylinder 3 is the last injector in the line but also has the most heat to deal with due to being next to the turbo. As you say it can be an expensive lesson learnt, that is why I fitted mine to hopefully prevent any issues. My car is on it's original engine, not rebuilt, on 112K mileage and on it's last RR session did 440bhp. I have owned the car from new so I know exactly what has been done to it.

im rotated on my blob running a 2.1 and scoobyclinic gt30 .63. It has more lag than my previous sc46. Prob 1000-1500rpm until on full boost but it comes on harder. the sc46 was a great combo with a 2.1 as it was on full boost by 3500rpm. The gt30 is great but as a weekend car you have to kick its head in to feel the benefit if you get me.
