eBay.com sell them as I brought a couple for my camper conversion a few months back , about £15

Not sure why you would want to rotate a standard position turbo as the whole point of a rotated turbo is that it's too big to fit in the correct postion due to a different type housing ,, standard postion turbos are now hitting nearly 600bhp so unless you want mental power there no need to rotate the piping

That's not the main reason to rotate the turbo its to get a better flow path for the air into the compressor inlet

Reason I'm rotating is ,I've got a clocked md321/gt30 wateva u wana call it , and I've bought a parallel fuel rail set up and can't get a fitting on the end of fuel rail in as it's hitting the silicone hose coming off compressor, can't even get banjo bolt in it's that tight Was fine with standard fuel rails but you all know how we like to mess with our cars .
Also a nice straight hose into the turbo inlet should be far less restrictive than the samco hose with its 2tight bends

I couldn't find any on eBay mate, I'v been to a local guy John Ashley exhausts and got 2 flanges and 8 inch of pipe for £10 so can't complain

When I spoke to Ollie Clarke many years ago about why they designed there rotated kit it was due to the size of the turbo not the inlet track

That may have been the case but there are numerous 500BHP plus turbo's out there now that are standard position with larger compressor housings than standard.

Yes mines 530 in standard postsion but back when they designed it there wasn't standard postsion turbos putting out the numbers (over 500) so they needed to use a turbo with a different housing (t3/t4 can't remember) to make the numbers the gobstopper did and with it being so large it needed to be rotated to allow it to fit properly

I agree there are turbos much smaller making bigger numbers nowadays but this wasn't the case when it was designed
