Clamp the rod across a vise and straighten it slowly, I wouldnt do the exhaust elbow, its not that big of a deal, a larger non crushed downpipe is the biggest gain.

Thanks typ4 I'll try the vise trick. Any idea on where I could get a down pipe that would fit the stock exhaust housing. I'm willing to try anything other than the smashed one I have already.

You can always have a muffler shop make you a custom fit downpipe. Had to go this route after installing my 088. The previous owner did some custom work to the downpipe and it didn't fit properly on my rig. Sooo, the muffler shop cut the tip off where it slides into turbo manifold and bent a 3 inch piece of pipe to fit my application. Anything will be better than the factory dp.

Rebuild kit came in. I was happy with the kit from GPopShop. Came with detailed instructions an all the pieces were identical to what was on the turbo. Turbo is half way assembled. Just waiting on the compressor wheel to come in this Friaday.
