so how is the oil going to return to the sump 'freely' when its facing up?
the oil will build up in the turbo and push through the seals if you ask me and then blow lots of nice smoke.
maybe they made the manifold to have the turbo mount the other way (compressor facing other way) so your return was at 8 o'clock instead of 2? (which is still too much an angle IMO).

no it will not, the oil will go back through the turbo and your car will blow tonnes of smoke. the oil return MUST point as close to straight down as possible!

All you need to do is have the turbo core rotated in relation to the housings.

Mine makes 180kw at the wheels, but don't get too caught up in quoted dyno figures, they all vary. Seems that the general ballpark for a well setup 4AGTE with a responsive turbo (TD04, RB20, T25/28 etc, not a laggy dyno mule) is anywhere from 145kw-200kw at the wheels. How much boost do you plan to run?

I'm going to run around 14-15 pound. Tell me how much boost can they take before they fry.

Its all in the tuning. My motor is a $400 import MAP GZE, has never been rebuilt, and has been running 19psi for a year and a half, and loves it
