OK guys I need a turbo elbo that does more than a 90degree turn. Just as a guess I would say 120degrees. I screwed mine up trying to get more hood clearance and now it keeps popping off. It looks like I didn't leave enough flange to grip.

Thanks in advance,

atpturbo.com they have u bends

Carl Byck

Cast aluminum 90* from Boostcooler.com on Ebay

yea i kinda need 1 with more more 90* to work with my setup. i think this one originally came with a t78 setup.

AntiVenom7

you're thinking i should cut off a portion to get the right angle?

Carl Byck

If you use a cut up U bend run a bead on it. There are cast pieces that go up to ~120-140*

This is what I did with a 90 degree bend from ATP. It came out pretty clean.

AntiVenom7

that is what i was looking for, a cast piece with the 120*-ish turn. do you know where to buy them?

also, i guess i didn't think of running a bead on the piece i have. it should keep it in place with a bead.

AntiVenom7

bump. anyone know where to buy the cast elbows?

bcty

you can always use some hairspray and a good boost clamp to keep it on there

AntiVenom7

hmmmm. not a bad idea. i was thinking of picking up a better clamp anyways.

does the hairspray really work? i could use something with more hold if i got desparate.

Forge Motorsport has really nice Samco silicone 90*s, etc. http://www.samcosport.com/raceparts.asp

thanks, bro.

i found the cast pipes in 120* but the biggest they go is 60mm. Would that be ID or OD?

yes hairspray works real good... spray it on and rub it around so its pretty wet. put clamp on and there ya go.. shouldnt come off easyly anymore

AntiVenom7

Hell if that doesnt work I will crazy glue the damn thing on
