Turbo Mounting direction??
I've been looking at a lot of tubro upgrade kits for the FC and I see quite often that the exit pipe on the intake side of the turbo is aims in some random direction. I'd only have to assume that this is meant for a particular front-mounted intercooler set-up or something similar, but sometimes it looks like it would be far more convenient if it was twisted around 15 degrees or so.
Does anyone know if it's possible to adjust the angle difference between the hot and cold side of the turbo? Maybe if you wanted the exit pipe on the intake side to point up or down, and it doesn't come point that way?

That's how they achieve that "randomd direction" which they choose for their setup. They loosen the retainer bolts and rotate the compressor housing.
