turbo elbow ATS or make one?

[zigg]

Iv'e already got the 3" downpipe sitting on my shop floor. I'm thinking I might be able to just find a flange fitting, and weld it onto the end of the 3" downpipe, and then just bolt it on. I'm not looking for major performance gains, just a bit more efficiency, and lower exhaust temps. I don't tow much, and don't really want to crank the boost all over the map. Just figure if I got the turbo sitting here, might as well have it on the truck.

(I know, I know, lots of guys would rather that I just packaged it up and mailed it off to someone....)

I had a local muffler shop make me a 3 inch down pipe, no biggie, I took him a portapower from work with the jaws a life attachment and told him to bend as needed to make it fit.

When I went back to pick it up he said he had no problem making it fit and did not have to bend the fire wall. My turbo has the flange fitting at the top with the clamp ring fitting.

The whole deal cost me $40 for a 3 inch downpipe.
