Have a few questions regarding some turbo elbows on the RB20...I found this one with the separate pipe for the wastegate gases.Was curious if anyone knows if this would have any clearance issues withthe S13? Also was looking at the Syko Turbo Elbow since its designed to solve our clearance issues. The syko one is single 3" pipe design.Couldnt find a price though for just the separate elbow since theygenerally sell it with the mount kit.Any particular advantages of the separate exhaust pipe for the wastegate?And anyone have any other good dealers for turbo elbows?THANKS!EDIT: OH! And im gonna be using the R32 crossmember so thats whatim basing any clearance problems off of. Clearance with mount kitswould likely be different.

I am using a syko install kit also........its 100% great stuff not had one issue, comes with the arp bolt for the dump pipe, either way I seen a used syko elbow for sale on here and zilvia, I know he said he was going to cut it up to make something else if it did not sale, not sure if he still has it.

it can fit with no problem if your RHD but if your LHD your gonna come smack dab into the steering with the upper pipe. (ask me how i know)oh and the nifty little middle piece wont fit into the turbo without some serious shaving.
The advantage to having a divorced wastegate pipe is the ability to increase your boost without massive boost jump (wow it jumped to 18 psi before it went to 14 where i set it)
The quick and dirty way to fix the steering issue is to cut the upper pipe and shorten it into a new hole you punched into the pipe then seal the old hole (im probably making it sound harder then it is)
Of just bang the s*** out of it till it clears the steering LOL
