This elbow was a 3.5" Id elbow, and it took me about two hours to get it on. Its from siliconeintakes. And ****, i wanted a 3.75 but they didnt have one. I tried a hair dryer to heat it up. hell, i even boiled it in water to loosen it up. Who would of thunk that some just Brute force and some windex and a whole lot cussing and bloody knuckles would finally get this thing on and ready. damn!

little more progress last night, Rossko85 came over and forced me mock the turbo and what not so we could get a picture. lol. He also hooked me up with silicone lines and "t" fittings, what a guy. ill try and mount the pump tonight and get it ready to be plumbed, The turbo is only mocked so i could get and idea of vacuum line length. im strongly hoping to be In need of tune by next weekend. The snow wont quit, and my tires are to bald to drive int he snow. lol

Jax you got any pics of that or are you referring to the stock hangers? IIRC, they are a little further down the rear no?

One more question, that bend from the diff to the turbo, would you say it's a 45* angle?

i would say its pretty close to a 45 yes, maybe a little less, and i am referring to the 4 hangers right in front of the diff. So i believe they are stock hangers.
