turbo help
ok, i just got my turbo today. i bought it off of ebay, and this thing is pretty big. i don't know the specs, trim etc. on this, but i don't think its going to fit in my engine bay, even with a turbo manifold without taking the a/c out. i have no experience with turbos but this thing seems to take up the whole space in front of the block. also i need to spin the inlet of the turbo around so it'll face down or up or whatever, because right now it is faced toward the block if i bolt it on with the downpipe facing the drivers side of the car. anybody know how to do this? i heard you loosen the bolts, but i dunno which ones. any help would be great. thanks

I would say put it between the engine and firewall if at all possible. Though I know very little about your engine.

1st off, what type of turbo is it? is there a clamp holding the cartridge and exhaust housing together? if so take off the clamp, pry the two apart, rotate, clamp together and your done. If not, let us know

it will fit. a t3 isnt too big. and especially if you bought the turbo kit specifically for your sohc vtec motor. just get some pro help installing it.
