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?

 

In for how much they prize that piece. Bet its spendy

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

 

i have a friend doing CX forward facing headers and these, i cant wait to see how they do lol

 

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.

 

people say these manifolds crack when not supported, so just hang the turbos with some support and go nuts

 

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

 

not a good design for the wastegate, if you have a freeflowing set up wastegate won't work well, needs to be a Y feed

 

What if I used a wastegate elbow coming off my 90 degree turbo elbow? Will that work as a Y?

 

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.
