Default where do you buy rubber elbows?

I need a couple rubber elbows, like 4"x3.5" and a 3.5x3 now the only place i can find is ebay, and I also need a few more. so Ide have to buy each one and pay $13 each for shipping.

is there a online store w/ a resonable price to buy them from?

hey pwrtrip75,

i got mine from this place
www.intakehoses.com
also a few questions bout ur turbo
is it a HOLSET H1E/H1C 58MM?
do you have it upgraded?to use different wheels on the turbine and compressor?
i ask because i beleive to have an identical turbo
pretty sure its the same one
which also gonna use on my ls1 project but im undecided
wether to use EFI or carb blow-thru.

i think i read on another forum that this similiar turbo can support up to 630 rwhp on a gasoline application
IF u can relay any info back to me bout ur turbo
id appreciate it
thanx

I did have a rubber elbow, and a lot of guys are using rubber. But for I wouldnt have faith in them, as the rubber wont withstand boost like a silicone hose will.
