Honestly that $40. elbow will do nothing for performance. You will not feel a thing. Save for a complete upper IC pipe. I have the Dejontool upper pipe that is designed for thr GM MAF & Translator. Sure it was $199. but it allowed me to run the GM MAF which flows even more than the 2gmas. You can pick up a GM MAF and put in place bot hooked up to nothing until you can afford the translator which will allow the use of larger injectors and fuel tuning. Why buy things twice? I should know as I am about to go to my 3rd turbo in less than a year!! First the EVO III, then a 50 trim and now a 60-1. I should have stayed with the EVO as it is possibly the BEST all around turbo for the 2.0 motor. I have a 2.5" exhaust I used with the EVO. Complete stainless steel, flanged, "test pipe", and a stainless muffler. I paid $580. for it shipped WITHOUT a mufflr, I am trying to sel it for $400. WITH the muffler so I can get the 3" my 60-1 will need. Get a pan down and stick to it. I would go EVO, 2.5" exhaust, ported ex manifold, 02housing when you can afford those last 2 as they are not needed in the beginning. Heck my EVO with 550cc inj's ran 18 psi on pump and the stock sidemount. Mark

isnt the 2g a different angle?

 

[sleepyvr4]

yeah, the hks is a 45, and the 2g is about a 65 degree.

twice the diameter = four times the flow.. that thing looks HUGE compared to the stock, I can imgine it would flow a good 50% better.

HKS t-body elbow will be tough to fit without hitting the battery or getting an angled hose adapter. Here's a couple pics of a modified HKS elbow using a Turbonetics 2.5" 90* elbow.

my upper ic piping is designed to goto a 2g elbow...i was wondering if i could make it fit on say that hks one with a correct rubber piece

Who modified that? Its a VERY clean job.. props to whoever did

I cut and fit it the HKS elbow together using a cutdown Turbonetics 2.5" 90* elbow. I think the total angle is 65* like somebody mentioned. I modeled it in ProEngineer to get the whole shebang to fit correctly, based off of the stock 2g elbow outlet position and angle.

I also had to cut off the HKS elbow at the flange because all of the angles were all wrong. All the cuts are true and perpendicular, just the rotation angles needed adjustment. I just placed a line using a marker on both pieces where they should line up and had my welder do his thing. It was funny because he thought it was a water outlet elbow for a V8 motor. Then I told him it was going onto a 400 h.p. 4 cylinder turbo car and he got real interested in the whole project.

I bought an ADFX FMIC and they expected people to reuse the stock 2g elbow. I doubt there is a performance benefit but I didn't like having 2.5" pipes going into a 2.25" elbow and then back into a 2.5" (60mm I.D.) throttlebody, makes no sense and looks like shit.

Gotta give props to my local welder in Chicago, Julian Welding. Guy is a master with aluminum, he usually welds aluminum radiators and such. Also did my custom stainless exhaust stuff too, tig welded and everything. Here's some of his tig-welding on stainless:
