Ok yall, Ive got a 90 240 with a sr swap, Im in the process of upgrading my manifold to the I.S.I.S cast top mount, and the GT 3071R .63. Im ordering my turbo from ATP, externally wastegated, T3, 4 bolt exhaust discharge. Well heres my problem. since im switching from bottom mount to top mount and I was going to choose the 4 bolt exhaust to Vband.I can find the 4 bolt-V-band flange. but I can not find a elbow to go from the flange to my down pipe. I just switched to cars from bikes so Im pretty new to all of this. I have researched alot, so no need for flaming, Im pretty sure this set up is common and some company has to have the elbows sitting on a shelf waiting for me to buy it but I cant find it. Thanks for the imput guys and girls!

You are not going to find something that fits. you'll have to fab up your own elbow.

Looks like your gonna have to find someone with one then.
Have someone fab up the elbow and then weld it onto the flange.

Is their an alternative route I can go to avoid having to fabricate something?

what wrong with having someone fab you one? Some shop do a damn good job at it.

Well I was looking and I think I could get a Flex bellow add a 2 extension on the bottom and have the 3 bolt cat flange welded to that. then buy a already bent 45 degree joint put that on top of the flex, and have the appropraite angle cut at the top and weld that to a V-band flange and badda bing badda boom, ??? IDK maybe that was just a crazy idea?

an alternative would go back to bottom mount :ddog:
lol well as stated above fabing the elbow would be your only choice unless you by chance find a used one for sale that fits. visit your local exhaust shop or the like and ask them how much it would cost to do something like this
good luck
edit: the way you described it you would cut existing parts and welding them together? its plausible but it would be easier to have someone fab a full piece out of scratch. it wouldn't be all that expensive i believe.

Word!!! Bottom mount = no creativity!! Im going to figure it out. I think my previously posted idea would work.

T3 frames on bottom mounts suck ass... Don't bother.. No there are no bolt on kits, just have someone fab it up...
