k the headers have a flange(connector that bolts to the exhaust side of the turbo) on them, they are usually flipped so that the headers point forward instead of backwards. That way the turbo is powered by the exhaust side(turbine side) which spins a fan and exits through the downpipe. There is a shaft that connects thhe exhaust side and the intake side(compression side) of the turbo that spins the compressor fan which then pumps air through the cold side tubing (can go through intercooler) into the intake. If that didn't help I can explain it in a lil better detail, I have been contemplating a Master Power T70 build myself, just working the funds.
