Actually I did, but he said it was exhaust related.
Now when I open the hood though it sounds like the loudness is coming from the area of the turbo.
It's just so flippin' loud.

Just something to throw out there, maybe someone lost the gasket for the wastegate so it's open all the time.
My turbo civic was like that when I got it.
-Edit- That would be only if it was an external wastegate that wasn't piped back into the exhaust.

No, I don't know who did the installation of the parts.
I had my brother in law check out the car.
Apparently the loudness is coming from the wastegate area.
He's saying that it may not be tightened or it may need to be sealed or need a gasket.
I was looking at how the engine was angled also.
Now....just so you guys know, whenever I get any car, before I even attempt to have it licensed I do a thorough check in the engine to make sure that everything is right.
So far everything is in order in terms of the engine being in good shape.
But in your opinions what could possibly be the cause of the engine tilting like that.
I have driven it, I have checked underneath the car to see if the engine wasn't resting on the axle, I checked the engine mounts and everything appears to be okay.
By the way, How many engine/motor mounts are there?

5 motor mounts.
what i meant by the axle breaking is how much of an angle the passenger side axle is at. I'm surprised the CV joint or the axle itself hasn't broken. Getting that engine level definitely needs to be a priority.

What did he say about the motor being tilted like that?
Have you driven/"licensed" it yet? I am not saying that it wouldn't run correctly, but I would not drive that car until that problem is fixed.
