Yah flip cooler upside down and have the joins coming in under the headlights. rotate turbo so it goes over or very close to manifold...

2 inch hot side and 2.5inch cold side. 3 inch if u must.

Basically avoid going in long loopy section through the guards.

the drop in inlet tempuratures, which results in a denser charge which allows more fuel and allows more ignition to be applied.

Mean RS setup. Its pretty close to perfect without flipping the manifold...

2inch hot side, 2.5 inch cold side and rotated comp housing with a flipped FMIC







The pics are pretty old but the FMIC setup hasnt changed.

Is there any reason why the cold side seems to be a bigger diameter in these setups? I know that the manifold inlet is bigger (2.75 inches??), but why not run 2 inch for the majority of the cold side piping and then taper it out at the end to fit nicely into the manifold?

no angle mount turbo?

take a look at tino's setup, he managed a reverse manifold (without tensioners) for the GD.

you will get the most gain from this.

my reverse manifold is a hybrid between GC/GD.

Yes u will get most gains from my setup reverse manifold and rotated turbo setup. But it is pricy, alot of labour involved and it would be more than double ur 2gs that u want to invest..

Stick to trying to make ur cooler piping smaller in diameter and a much shorter route. Otherwise keep it the same and go a twinscroll setup.. i.e headers and new turbo..

U could sell ur current turbo and headers to get some money back..
