    lol. That's what it looks like. Exhaust into the outlet, through the turbo, and out of the hot side inlet.

    WOW! I didn't know you can run them like that. Wouldn't the turbo spin backwards? Or did he change the direction of the turbine wheel

    haha i over analyzed and thought that the exhaust runners went into the downpipe part of the turbine. Completely overlooked that the cold side is backwards.

    This picture is all sorts of mind fuck.

    The FPR looks legit, it's got a bracket above the intake, but the waste gate is def missing a vacuum hose or cap. Lol
