It would be cool if they had basically a reverse setup valve cover. Just have the fill hole on the FRONT of the drivers side.

Do you have a spare set of valve covers?
I would be willing to cut apart the passenger side for the fill port, and weld that to the front location on a driver side VC.
Then you have a front fill, driver side VC. Run a stock driver side on the passenger and use the PCV port as an engine vent. Put a -8 on it and make a sexy vent.

These are the valve covers I have now. And the drivers side has a #8 welded in place of the pcv.
HAHA!! Ignore the work paperwork.

I have these with a much smaller turbo. They may help though.

Also I need to do some searching but there is a valve cover that is fairly cheap that moves the oil fill cap to the very top of the valve cover...

I'm not trying to make such a big deal out of such a small issue. I can always reverse the covers again. I was just wondering if anyone else had to deal with this and if there was an easy fix. Apparently there is not.
It would be interesting to cut and weld a filler neck onto a drivers side cover like Arthur^ said. I would just have to get that one cover re-coated.

I have never seen these! I wish I had before I just spend money on these covers. I would still like to see them if you find them. I'm sure I could sell these. I still have to do my wire tuck before I swap the covers over anyways. So I have a little time.

The T4 housing is small compared to the T6.
Even with the T6 I had enough room for the cap.
Post pictures of the turbine housing in relation to the VC with the blanket off.
