T3/T4 Tranny Buster E Style Turbos using stock exhaust manifold with elbows

[Steve in VA]

I'm ready to pop for the 50 trim stage 2 TU T3/T4 Tranny Buster E Style Turbo to go with my 2.5. I'll be using a stock exhaust manifold max ported by SteveM. My question is: what becomes of the clearance issue at the head? I guess I have to buy (2) 90 degree aluminum elbows, mock it up on the stand and sharpie mark the 2 elbows to the turbo then send it out to be welded? Does anyone have this same setup with pics? Either installed in the car or on a stand?

Subscribed. I have a E cover and compressor wheel I'd like to upgrade to on my dd. I am currently using a .60 trim compressor wheel and cover off of a turbocoupe. I was able to get that setup around the head by grinding off the corner of the head and using a elbow that bolts to the compressor.

The clearance issue is well documented.

I cut and weld.

tryingbe's is one of hte nicest ways I've seen so far. His bend is just as sharp as it needs to be. The less sharp it is the better the air flow out of the turbo.
