I am wanting to high mount the op6 turbo just wondering if anyone has done it before.

Also what have people with a similar setups power figures been

Don't high mount it.

Don't forward faxing plenum.

It's pretty much pointless. Especially with a high flow.

More info on the high flow please.

I need to go forward facing plenum otherwise the turbo will not fit whether i use op6 or not.

Can i ask why it is useless?

What?

Where are you putting the turbo?

A forward facing plenum will cost you torque. And money. And a defect.

Bullshit. Plazmaman piping is the answer.

Ben is 137% right. Leave the turbo low mounted, keep factory plenum, use money for better ecu/tuning/fuel pump/injectors.

Factory low mount turbo also means dump pipes etc are all off the shelf, also saving time and money.

If you want a forward facing plenum you do it, just research first so you understand the tradeoffs and which type of ffp does what
