I am getting ready to purchase my FMIC and I have been going over pictures to make sure I order the right parts. More specifically the J-Pipe options.

The turbo on my 2g 1999 gst says TD05. It has had a motor swap though. Sometime before I bought the car. It has the turbo outlet on the bottom of the car. The outlet has a 2 bolt flange with a pipe bolted to it that routs to the stock SMIC.

All the 16g style turbos I see have the turbo outlet up on top. Near the manifold flange. So I'm sure I don't have a 16g.

I have always assumed that it was a 14b. The Punishment Racing FMIC kit offers j pipe options for 14b/16g or downward facing turbos.

Which option do I choose?

I can upload a pic of the turbo tomorrow when there is light but if anyone has ordered the PR FMIC and knows what turbo I have based on my description, can you help a brother out?
 
It sounds like someone clocked the compressor housing so it would fire downward. You can probably just remove the v-band clamp, pull the housing off, and rotate it back the right way.

Watch out for a small pin/dowel that is supposed to align to a hole when it's oriented correctly. It may have been removed, or they re-drilled the housing for the new position.
 
Most likely just a rotated compressor housing as stated above, but normally that adds a problem if its still internally wastegated since they bolt to the compressor housing unless a new bracket was made or modified or external waste gated.
