you gota make one yourself.... or you can buy the new greddy kit for $900 that comes with one...
some people use the N/A rubber/plastic elbow. it bolts onto the turbo TB and faces forward. but it's like 3-4". too big. and I don't like /rubber plastic for boost... it won't fit with P/S.

I'm not sure if you could modify that in some way to fit, but it looks fairly close.
Dunno though

I don't know.. actully I've seen them for sale in austraila for around $100-150usd. they just come straight out sideways with 2.5" or 3". forgot the site though.
I'm gona just take a stock one and cut a 2.5" hole in the side and block the stock hole. and get a 2.5" pipe welded onto it.

The N/A elbows work really good. I had mine on for 2 years....and its hard plastic, so what! I run 20psi and no problems
You can't run P/S like the other guy stated, unless you run the IC tube under the P/S pump....You also have to chop the oil inlet tube so the IC will fit....
Any questions or photos?? bkapold@aol.com

So you got that reducer huh? cool!! ya it is a tight fit.
I just bought a BBK big bore TB that goes on a 5.0 Mustang w/ TPS .... I made a aluminum 3/4" plate that bolts to the RX-7 plentum, hollow'd it out in the middle, then drilled holes for the new BBK unit.... It should be pretty cool....Its almost like how a thick wheel spacer works w/studs...... I really hate Mazda TPS's and having a stand alone ecu I figured I try it....Why not!
The only reason I'm doing this is because of the junky Mazda TPS, or I'd stick with the N/A TB elbow thang....

That's what I will be doing. Large mustange single plate throttle body. Makes things a lot simplier, aids in flow for really high powered cars, cleans up the engine bay, and is cheap as hell to buy and replace if ever necessary. Plus it is unique

FCTURBO2:
Its easy, cut the top of oil filler neck off (theads). On the bottom, the portion that goes into the housing? measure about 2" up from that and hack that off. Now if you cut them both straight and clean you can either weld the joints together OR JB weld it together.....It works just fine....
You can also buy a mini K&N filter and stick it in there too and you won't have to mess with cutting or anything.... Rotaries are pressurized from the bottom so no oil comes out regardless if there is anything in there or not
