Bigger turbo outlet elbow worth it?

[tsi_turboawd]

I was thinking of what kind of Xmas present i could add to my wishlist thats possible for the $$. Buschur Racing has one for a reasonable price, or is it? ..well i want to know if its a worth a time spending some $$'s on an upgraded turbo outlet elbow. Its says 16G out. elbow, not 100% sure but would it fit on my stock 14B??

Stock #: 30140-BR Price: $25.00

what kind of gains do i get out of it?

yes it will fit your 14b,and yes its probably worth it,the best thing you can do to a turbo motor is eliminate restriction. that goes for both intake and exhaust.

Yea tru. I ordered one from BR just like the one in the pic. Problem is the hole on flange(left side closer to motor) is sitting right next to the elbow pipe. So the head of the bolt would rub and causes to tilt. and it wont screw down

now im returning it to BR and exchange for another one

yeah, it is true using the elbow will help performance. not alot of gain in HP by itself, but it will later when you switch turbos.

-You'll run into similar problem with bigger UICP also, easier thing to do is switch to allen bolts.

That mods known as the fuel cut inducer. It definitley helps compresssor effcieny and 25 dollars is a great price. I recomend getting a real mans turbo but if your gonna stick with tdo5 housed weenie wheels then get it.
