Yep should be on top. the turbo setup off the 3litre turbo engine (1kz) is under the manifold.

if its a ct20 turbo and manifold from a 2.4d surf engine, it will bolt straight up to the 2.8, if you look at the head you can move your exhaust studs to suit the manifold as there is extra holes, i did this to my 2.8 you just need a surf manifold gasket.

just a thought.....your not holding the manifold upside down are you ??
as mentioned you will need to relocate a few studs.

otherwise post pics.

if oil filter sits horizontal then it sounds like you allready have oil cooler fitted which is excellent. assuming factory that also means oil spray bars will be also fitted.

i recently put a ct20 on my ln106, if your manifold is off a 2lt you gotta move 2 of the studs i think its the middle 2. if youve got any questions pm me

do the ports line up?
are you sure its a turbo manifold and not just an atmo one?
does the turbo bolt up to the manifold ok?
i wonder if you might have an aftermarket manifold.

oil pointing straight out is normally because its has the oil cooler fitted where as pointing straight down dosn't have the cooler.
