just wondering if anyone knows of other reverse rotation turbos?
they would simplify the setup for carb draw through apps
eg.

Does this just mean that the compressor is on the opposite side of the turbine ?
Don't get it unless different orientation options are the key.

DD, it allows for a straight shot towards the head instead of curving something chronic

Yes thats correct it will facilitate the inlet side to make it as compact as possible when using either a stock manifold or custom inlet

Im not keen on spending that much would prefer a modern fwd diesel turbo with the same placement or rotation etc

Do you remember the 1981 Isuzu I-Mark diesel? It got incredible fuel economy and was sporty to drive (albeit a little slow). If only some company now would make an inexpensive rwd thrifty car like used to be available (1200s, I-Mark, etc).

locally here they were released as the holden Gemini :)
Heavy but solid offerings with good suspension and bullet proof engines

The reverse turbos would suit these type of manifolds for a cleaner direct into the manifold install

Why not just use a regular turbo and position it 180 around?

regular turbos don't seem to need convoluted piping

not as direct for drawthrough which is essential for efficiency
and would look so compact and neat making the setup a breeze
