greddy elbow vs stock plastic.

ive still got my stock plastic elbow on my car, i wanted to get a greddy when i went single but never got around to it.

i cant think of any real performance gain vs the stock elbow. anyone have any insight to this?

Unless you wanted to mount your BOV really close to the TB or add additional injectors then I couldn't think of a reason. As far as I know, the stock one doesn't flex under boost or anything. FEED offers a very nice aftermarket elbow too in case you don't want to use the GReddy one.

Other than cosmetic reasons, it only lets you have more flexibility with piping not having to curve so far to meet it.

You can also add 2 additional injectors on some of them.

Or you can put a BOV on the elbow as well. Though I'm quite sure that the GReddy elbow is only flanged for a GReddy BOV.
