Hi all, could anyone please confirm that a single turbo kit for a left hand drive car will not fit a right hand drive car, something to do with the manifold??? I am dubious, but does anyone have first hand knowledge of any problems.

Actually the biggest problem is with a manifold sets the turbo forward and hits the steering linkage. A manifold with the wastegate runners on the outsideof the manifold will also hit the linkage.
