ummm, HUGE!!!
with Greddy or HIGGITRIX (PM HIGGI) TB elbow= 90* @ 3" diameter
with stock TB elbow= 180* @2"
i don't know why you would think it isn't restrictive, whether or not he has the stock turbo on there.
Go ahead and use the stock TB elbow for the meantime but you and I both know you need to get the right TB elbow soon. I would highly recommend Higgi's cast elbow vs. the Greddy one (why? because it's the same product and quality and the $$ is going to a rotary guy)

You're also missing the point that retaining the stock TB inlet requires using a very sharp bend to get onto it, and you're still entering the TB at a very poor angle. That alone is an obvious unnecessary restriction.

ok, so it's 2 and 3/4", please excuse my mistake. Even though the elbow itself is not 90*, the BEND that goes INTO the elbow will be 90* as opposed to a 180* bend. You know what I mean?
there are many different POVs on this:
I believe you are increasing performance by moving the TMIC from the top ( where heatsoaking is inevitable) to the front. I don't know where you get that the performance will be the same though. Just because the turbo is the same stock unit does not mean that the AIR TEMPERATURE WILL REMAIN THE SAME.
will the complexly bent pipes decrease performance? perhaps?
will the temprature drop in the FMIC increse performance? most likely (when compared to the TMIC)
will a bigger opening to the TB increase performance? most definitely.
