Default Wrong head unit.... HELP!?!?!?!

Guys, need some help. Working on the SC install today and mounted the head unit to the bracket, looked at supplied install instruction pictures and it doesn't match. The pulleys would all be in the right place, and seem to spin the right way, but the outlet hole from the head unit doesn't point right. In the pictures it points slightly down and towads the passenger fender. Mine points down and slightly towards center of car. Is this a intercooled set-up? Do I have the wrong directions? Do I have the wrong HU? Any help appreciated...........

ARGHHHHH!!!!!

you know you can change the direction of the discharge tube if you need to, just unscrew the allen screws and rotate it to where you need it,or does it come out and then turn toward the motor.
