Turbo housings
Can the turbocharger housings be rotated so the outlet is facing away from manifold?

Yes. It is called "clocking".

the odds of me finding an Audi ANYTHING here are slim to none.
 nice try tho I've done some tinkering and I find that some radiators from small cars with V6 engines can handle up to 25PSI before bursting....and the inlets and outlets are in perfect spots. not real sure that I can use a radiator tho...

only way to go
the only way to go is with saab....
if your going to open your turbo.... you mid as well rebuild it... have it cleaned and powdercoated....the seals and bearings can cost as little as 5 bucks.....theres bound to be a lot of crud in there.

Volvo: Fits perfectly around the radiator, but the oil cooler would have to be moved.
Audi: The upper tube points the opposite needed and too long to fit behind the headlight.

It would ne hard to get the tubing back to the turbo and intake with the volvo IC as well.

im thinking of putting mine laying down over the turbo, with heat shielding and wrapping the turbo of course.(perhaps a VNT turbo) and have some louvers put into the hood, and air piped to the intercooler.also use the N/A manifold..

I think I'll cave and go with air/water. No good places for an air/air without cutting.
