Quoting GSX_TC:
If you were to get a turbo with the compressor outlet facing down you could go that route. That J-pipe in the picture is a DSM style one that still needs to go to the other side though, instead of going on top that one goes below the manifold. Pretty common to see on DSM setups using a TDo5h based turbo.
thats exactly what he is saying. use the dsm jpipe to go below the turbo, instead of over top the manifold
