Alright so im in the process of swaping an sr into my s13. One thing I was wanting to upgrade was the turbo elbow, but theres two types ive been looking at out there.

The first being one with two paths in it, one for the turbo exhaust and the other for the wastegate. while the other one is just a straight pipe that they both go into.

heres some pics of each

Stock T25 has an internal wastegate so you have no need for the split chamber, stick with the straight pipe.

The split chamber is designd for the internal waste gate
its designed so that when the the W/G opens it directs the gases away from the turbine gass flow to keep the it from creating turbulence.

On a T25 i dont see a point in it, just get a regular elbow

I had the two path one, it will not fit... It constantly grinded against my steering shaft. Its useless, ws made for RHD...
