I have only seen that elbow on turbos. Every N/T I have worked on hast a straight run to the T/B. But the elbow from a turbo will fit right on if you want it to.

Not completely sure about 2gs but I'm sure it's different since it is a different motor and all. I know the 1g non-turbos actually have an "elbow" built into it as to where a turbo TB is cut off and the elbow bolts on to that.

Yes a 2G NT has a flange that a coupler attaches too. No elbow.

What he said.

Your vehicle profile is currently empty, buddielee5, but I take it from your post that you're looking to put an N/A 2G elbow (non existent, as mentioned) on a 2G turbo. However, the 2G turbos already have a larger diameter elbow as compared to the 1G's, making it a popular 1G upgrade. If you need something larger for a 2G, you'll have to fabricate something or buy that HKS [cha-ching!] elbow. Although, keep in mind that this is one of those "low horsepower gain per dollar spent" modifications. So unless you've run out of things to upgrade, I'd use the money toward something else.

side note, not to jack a thread, but I personaly like the N/A 1g tb better then the Turbo models specificly for their 62mm inlet. All you need to do is reabuild the seals, and use a coupler to attach the UICP and you never have to worry about those stupid restricing TB elbows.

I agree. Plus it eliminates the need for the elbow-tb gasket getting rid of another possible source of boost leaks. I picked up a n/t 1g TB for like $10 and threw a $16 90* silicone elbow on it.
