90 degree turbo elbow with wastegate flange?
I see Nelson Racing Engines is building a billet stainless turbo elbow in one piece with a wastegate flange. This just looks too simple and perfect for many applications including mine. I emailed them to ask a price but I fear sticker shock is coming. Does anyone else make such a thing?

Doesn't have the wg flange but that could be added easily and wherever you wanted it.

I got an answer back from NRE and they're at $1500 per pair. They're wicked and I understand the strength behind them but they are far beyond my price range. Denmah I'm anxious to see how that turns out, I'm using those same headers and these elbows looked like a good place to mount my wastegates. I'll just have to weld on my own flanges, was just looking for the easy way out.

Yea I need to figure out a way to brace them to the motor. I thought about mounting them to the frame the realized that the torque and flex of the motor might add even more stress

Run the wastegate flange in line with the flow on the back side of that turn.
I made this setup before I saw these from cx. It would have made my whole install dramatically better.
Also, here's a bracing idea for you. I'd mount to the turbine side rather than the compressor, but it works for now for me.
