sometime next week!!??!!??!?
damn, batinc told me my banjo fitting would take a month! You lucky SOB!
Also to add something useful...it looks like you could make all the bends you need from the pipes you already have there with the right amount of sawzall'ing and silicone conectors.

I did some research on the Greddy bend. It's actually a cast piece and costs about $100. The biggest problem is it's special order from Japan and would take at least 6 weeks to get
As far as sawzaling the pipe, you're probably right, but by the time I would have a workable solution I think I'd have more couplers than pipe.
All I need is a nice 120deg 3in bend. Surely someone here must know of where I can find one in the US for a reasonable price. I found a supplier in CDA http://www.members.shaw.ca/powertech/pipingbends.html, but would like to avoid doing the cross boarder thing if possible.

UPDATE:
Manifold Turbo/Chassis Clearance:
Today I test fitted my turbo and manifold on a friend's car, which is also getting a single put in. I'm a concerned about how close the turbo sits to the chassis. There is a bit more than 1/4" of clearance. I posted a few pictures below that I took with my camera phone (forget to bring the memory chip for standard camera).
I'm going to do some research over the next day and decide whether this is acceptable or the manifold needs to be modified. It won't be too expensive to have someone cut off the turbo flange and weld it back on at a slightly different angle, but it will add some time onto the project.
What do you guys think? How much does the motor torque over under load at full power? Keep in mind I have upgraded motor mounts. I would love it hear from people using a setup with similar clearance.
