I hope that I am posting this in the proper location, if not I apologize ahead of time. So I was looking for a new/different turbo to put on my RB25DET power S14 Left hand drive as I'm in the states. All of this is being done to overcome some issues with the turbo elbow and the currently installed turbo. So I was on eBay and saw the following: www.ebay.com/itm/251078425474?ssPageName=STRK:MESINDXX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1436.l2649. I was wondering if anyone has any experience with this turbo or the company selling it? I think I might just have to go to a shop that can make a turbo elbow to address the issue.

Thanks in advance for helpful responses.

Shouldn't be too expensive to get a shop to weld an elbow on to your compressor - I have one on mine (for different reasons).

Are you talking about the dump pipe I assume?

I like to call the compressor outlet the elbow,the inlet is the forearm and turbo exhaust outlet the wrist to avoid confusion.

But the turbo exhaust inlet has me f**ked anatomically.

Ben C34's description is correct. I search for a while never finding what I was looking for which is why I asked the questions. Sometimes you just can't find what you need so you ask for a little help from the people that should know. Well at least now I know the best thing to do. Thanks for the helpful suggestions.

      Yeah, my moulds and seals are 32 years old now. I think I will continue to not use a pressure washer on it.

      I hear the old "I'd never use a pressure washer on my motorbike" BS in the dirtbike community too.  The only people that have had a problem from using a pressure washer on anything are the people that aren't using them properly.  If you hold the wand any more than 45 cms away from pretty much anything (radiators, wiring connectors, paint, etc) you aren't going to cause any damage.  We've had detailers wreck moulds and seals on cars at work before and the only reason why is they held the pressure washer too close and on the one spot for too long.  If you have 5% more brain power than a detailer then you know not to not do that and you'll never have a problem.

      I'm pretty much healed up post surgery so I spent another almost full day out in the shed re-arranging everything to make room for all of the shit that I've taken off the car.  I need to get everything off the floor and away from the car for when I start making a massive mess stripping off the remaining body deadener and then for the the painting process.  Almost got the shed to a point now where I feel I can actually start working on the car again (clean shed clean mind or something!).  Almost 11 years of accumulated car parts, building supplies, tools, junk, etc have taken a long time to get in some sort of order again!  Most stuff is now boxed up and in the back shed if it's not car related.  Most people would still be horrified walking into my shed but it's significantly better than it was before!   For those that saw my separate post the other day, yeah I ordered one.... This version- I convinced myself to stop being a clown, wake up to yourself and realise it will take you 5 weeks to make one by which stage you're over working on the car again...  Maybe I am getting on top of my "mental ailments" and making smarter choices.... $1450 delivered which will take my miserable half-dutch arse a few days to get over having spent that much!  If I don't have a use for it straight away after my car is off it I might even see if there is a "rental market" for them.  See if anyone wants to hire it for a period of time.  $25 a week or something like that.  I'll worry about that when my car is actually ready to come off it though as that might be a while away!! There's now no excuses now for not ending up with an underside you could eat off! Away for kids sport the next few weekends so hopefully can get the rotisserie assembled ready to go for the car to go straight on it the next available weekend.
