Doesn't affect performance at all. Orientation is different

Re: k14 turbo
IIRC the Syncro version has a different actuator, its sealed, with a nipple to attach a breather hose. The 2wd version just has little vent holes. Otherwise the turbos are the same. I used a 2wd one for several years on my pickup without problems.

That's about it, the screw in the actuator is hollow and has a pipe fitted, same exept that I believe.

No he isnt! I have it on good authority that he hasn't been wrong since 1935. He just wanted to see Andy mention nipples.
