Coupling b/w turbo and M2 Large IC problem solved ...

Buy the 2.75 inches ID 90 degree silicone coupler from Bakerprecision. Cut it down to size at one end, slip in the hard pipe; cut the other end down to size, couple the silicone coupler with a large clamp to the y-pipe.

Because the hardpipe is encased by the 90 degree elbow, it doesn't slip off and loses boost. At least that's the theory; mine hasn't pop off after a couple of 13 psi runs. We'll see if this will truly hold.

The best solution would be to somehow configure a new 90 degree hardpipe to be bolted to the the Efini turbo y-pipe
with two screws.

Good job ,Garfinkle made a pipe from a 90 and a flange that attached the efini to the KW innercooler ( same as m2 ) . He got the pipe from Burnes stainless . The new set up with BNR big turbos , he cut the flange off the efini pipe and made a new flange with 5 bolts . It is mounted much lower . The 90 degree pipe ( from Burns )with its 5 bolt flange sits lower and clears the shock tower brace better.The new set up looks great and seals better .It is so fun when a plan comes together .
