Twin Turbo Setup 1974 Duster

TT'74,
I have a product information question, regarding the orientation of turbos:

Logic says the inlets would face forward, and downpip would have faced the rear, for less plumbing.

Why did you orient them in this fashion?

I ask to give information to those that might be interested in the system.

Goal was to draw cold air through the scoop i have on the car now. Yes it makes the down pipe a bit longer. The are about the length of the turbos longer.
