Well rotated changes the position of the turbo. Like the stock position on our cars is basically underneath and to the side or the motor, where all the hot air is. As for rotated, it moves the turbo to the top, at an angle, so that there is colder air and better air flow. That's the basic way of understanding it. But there is a way more in depth reason why ppl go rotated that I truly don't even understand properly. All I know is, you'll get better power and less lag (depending on the turbo and setup) in a rotated setup. More exspensive, but you pay fro what you get.

430whp/390wtq...but it don't feel like it's making that much power when I drive it and it's super super laggy! Shoulda listened, but no, I'm too stubborn

Yeah I saw that coming "I TOLD YOU SO". Yeah, I mean it's cool for now. It still makes good power but kinda dumb, like in first gear, by the time the power band hits and boost kicks in, I'm already shifting. So, first gear is retarded (2nd gear is practically the same.) Otherwise it pulls real hard from a 3800 roll. Idk, theres still time for rotated but idk if I wanna go about selling everything again. BTW this loud*** magnaflow exhaust has got to go! You know anyone interested? Wayyyyyyy to loud for my likings now! Time for the q300 lol. And yes I am tryna copy you!

hahaha you got it man . But I've learned a few thing the last few days, like there are a lot more turbos out there that you can keep in stock location and still make good power with way better spool, compared to the Blouche 4.0xtr.

yeah man, do your research and don't just rush into it. Take it from me who rushed into it and didn't do my proper research before buying!! I coulda paid a little less money and got a smaller turbo and still made 400whp and would have had wayyyyy better spool. Thats the only thing I'm disappointed about on the car now. The lag is ridiculous!
