hot pipe elbow

Subject: hot pipe elbow September 14th 2009, 7:39 pm

so problem... I need a replacement for a silicon elbow from the turbo to the hotpipe. any suggestions? the elbow is to close to the exhaust manifold and it burnt a hole right through it. i have been told that maybe flex pipe... or steel braided lines but I don't think it will work. someone told me that maybe I could shorten the elbow itself so that it's more metal on metal instead of the hose....

please any suggestions would help!!!! other than useless ones...

can you not just get an OEM one, then clock your turbo so it DOESNT touch the manifold?

you fucked up

oem fits like a cakewalk. or its just a conbination of shitty parts thrown together. thats what usually happens.

how the manifold wraps around it would touch any fitting that would be put on. I'll try and get a picture up of how close it is

yep

thats definatly the quality of the manifold.

those runners run a bit too wide.

cheap fix: get t25->t28/s14 clocking adapters and cut your hotpipe
