Okay I thought I had it figured out. I bought a Syko Elbow and a Sr downpipe to use on my t3/t4 Turbo. Me being too eager bought elbow without realizing it won't fit my turbo outlet. I have a bunch of 3" mandrel bent piping around and I just bought a some flanges that will fit. I will be running an external wastegate so I can block of the wastegate hole on the turbo correct? So I can just run a single pipe to downpipe ? Also I need to weld in a 02 bung correct?

you can block the wastegate hole off and run a down pipe out of the larger outlet, shoot run the wastegate so its a screamer pipe! sounds sweet!

hmm.... I don't like screamer pipes. They are the ghey. I'm going to route the wastegate back into elbow.

I'm a little unsure what you meant, but yeah, you can recirc the wastegate back into the exhaust. The further back, the better.

Check out ATP turboThey have the Ultimate Internal Wastegate.It has a Vband connection if you don't want to use that External.

I have one it fits mint!!!The vband is def nice too, makes taking the DP off a bit easier.

I think they also have a block off plate with a vband if you are going to use that external.But you will have to re-route that pipe into the DP if you don't want to run a screamer pipe.
