Are there any other throttle elbows on the market besides the overpopular GReddy unit?? I know HKS makes one, and FEED has one that also comes with a nice piping kit which is the one I'm really looking for. I saw it on FEED's website, but I have no way of finding out prices or who can get the kit for me in the states.

just the elbow is about 224 and piping kit is just shy of 400 im pretty sure.

whats your obsession with feed? i am also a big fan(nice hoods) but they do the same thing so why not get the cheaper one?

I know it seems obsessive, I just am a firm believer of "You get what you pay for". I only have an aftermarket AST right now, and I only went for the Pettit racing one because I was really afraid of the stock one breaking, I originally wanted the Mazdaspeed or FEED, but oh well. I also have a thing for JDM RX-7s.

FEED is really expensive, and sometimes does not have superior quality over the other brands. although most of their products are top of the line, you can even ask jt and he will honestly tell you that some of the products is a pure waste of money, you are better off getting the greddy elbow, it is made of a thick cast aluminum, it will not break or crack and it can be used with many other manufacturer intercooler piping other than the ones that they produce.

This one?





Its only for the stock intercooler though, unless you want to cut and paste.



Trust/Greddy is pretty good for what you get and pay for ( i have one) RE-Amemiya also has them too. All pretty much the same, but I can understand to have your car with FEED or RE-Amemiya or something, its just going to cost more..........

Yeah that's definitely the one. So if I am looking at buying the Rotary Extreme Monster V-mount Intercooler for the twin turbo set up and I have the FEED throttle elbow and piping will I be screwed into having to buy a new throttle elbow, or piping, or even both??

Elbow--No it wont matter

Piping--Yes it wont work with it.



My piping is all custom anyway, I dont really like any of the piping kits out there.
