Nocab72 has been running (beating the crap out of ) a gt35/40 @ 18psi + for over a year with no problems. He put down 463 RWHP 2 months ago.

Really. What boost?

I don't think ICs are rated according to how nuch boost they can take, it's how much heat they will absorb and how well they flow. That depends on what turbo you are running. It's definitely not going to explode it you run 20lbs on it, but if you are on stock twins it may not be able to handle 20psi of heat.

There is no big difference, and certainly not any that the elbow would give in relation to the more important performance increase offered by the intercooler itself.

The elbow just allows for more custom setups, with the stocker curving to the passanger side, it would take extra curve's to get the air to go from a large intercooler (removed battery for stock mount, or a large front mount) so with the greddy elbow you can make it straighter/bling.

there are two types of cores for the greddy 2 row, the 24R and the 24V.

The 24V is the one that isn't recommended to boost over 15psi, wheras the R can go a lot more. Although they are both 2 row, the structural integredy of the cores are different. For more information go look at a greddy catalogue to see the differences in core design between an R spec core and a V spec one.

For RX7 the V spec is only about $800-$900 while the R spec is $1200-$1300. My way says go with the R spec one

15 psi boost on the street, 12 psi on the track. Currently no boost until new motor is installed. More flexibility with GReddy elbow (and more bling factor).

I was talking about actual piping comes with the IC kit. sorry for not clearin that up..

theres 2 choice.. one for stock elbow and greddy elbow..
since there is no big differences btw stock / greddy elbow it is possible to use stock piping from the kit with greddy elbow?

I ran 20psi on this thing on both a 60-1 and a T04-E, no heatsoak! That thing was solid and never gave me problems.

Yes theres a pretty big difference between the piping for the stock elbow and the Greddy elbow. You're going to need a piece custom made and welded at a shop to get it to work.
