I received my new 50 trim turbo at the beginning of the week, and I am trying to get everything together that I will need to bolt the turbo up and run at low boost. I requested having a 90 degree elbow welded to the turbo but I guess they forgot to do that before they sent it to me, so I'm left to decide what the best method would be for connecting the compressor outlet of this turbo to my Greddy intercooler piping (and future fmic).
I don't know of any welding shops around here that I would necessarily trust well enough to do some welding on my $1,000 turbo, and the only alternative I've seen is the 90 degree silicone connectors on turbohoses.com . Before I shell out another $100 for one of there 90 degree elbows and spring loaded clamps, I'm kind of skeptical as to how much boost that would hold vs. how much boost a welded on elbow could handle. Also, would Greddy piping fit the same 2" silicone elbow that I would need to fit the compressor outlet? Please feel free to give your advice, thanks.
