By clocking the turbo you remove a 180* and a 45* degree bend from the piping. That does make a difference, not to mention that you don't have the intercooler piping looped over the hot exhaust manifold.

Yes or No? Yes. Big difference? No. But a few degrees cooler BEFORE the intercooler means a few degrees cooler AFTER the intercooler, and cooler air = more power. Example, a cold air intake is highly recommended to make more power on a turbocharged (or any other) engine. Now, how much colder is the air down near the fender well compared to the engine bay (in a car that's driving, say, 60mph). Not very much! But, the little difference does make more power, and yet, the cooler air from the cold air intake still has to go through the compressor (being heated up) and then cooled again! So yes, you should do everything in your power to lower the temperature of your intake air at EVERY point in the system, before the turbo, after the turbo, and after the intercooler. This is the idea behind a WELL DESIGNED turbo system. No decent aftermarket turbo system builder would intentionally route the turbo and piping the way you're talking. If they wouldn't, then why should we? Don't be jealous just because you don't have a pimp clocked turbo
