yes you'll improve turbo spool because you're shortening the fmic piping by reversing manifold.

also remember that with a reverse manifold you will lose your air con.

i thot about reversing my maniford too, but then i wouldn't know where to get fmic piping to suit, and if i'm going this far for turbo lag, i might as well angle mount my turbo too

but i got my vf34 because its direct fit and no mods required, if i have to mod it to angle mount it, then i might as well go get one of those turbo with similar high end power that spools up quicker.
