Is there a more correct name for a turbo elbow? I've been searching for like 4 hours on google now trying to find the greddy turbo elbow and all I bring up is those damned auctions for the ss autochrome elbow.

I'm usually able to come up with things pretty quick when googling, but this is driving me absolutely nuts!

Sweet, that should help a bit :)

Also, I've heard that if you use this extension, then an sr20 downpipe can be used. Is that correct?

Or it can be called a downpipe in which case, the pipe after would be called a frontpipe.
