well.....I'm building a turbo setup for it using the system the porsche 930 uses. i was evasive because i wanted opinions on the air meter idea before everyone says "k-jet turbo wont work right!" the WUR which is really a "control pressure" regulator on the porsche is boost referenced and enriches on boost differently than the audi and volvo turbo which only enrich in lack of vacuum.

I want to turn it so i can have the pipe from the bottom of the air meter(now pointing back toward the windshield) turn 90 and angle down to the turbo inlet where the battery would be on some cars, passenger in front of the firewall next to the engine. then it will clear the valve cover. if the meter assembly stays level and i just elevate it i'll have to turn the pipe to horizontal with a 90, then either come up and over the valve cover and back to horizontal to the turbo inlet. Or turn 90 to horizontal then straight back through the firewall where the blower wont be anymore, turn 90 toward passenger side go a foot or so then turn 90 forward back through the firewall to the turbo inlet.You have to remember that the turbo has to pull through the air meter not pressurize it, and the tube on the bottom is almost 4".

After more research i found there is a counter weight in the air meter so it probably will mess with the calibration if its upright. crazy as it sounds the U turn through the firewall/blower area may be the best option.
