Cool T3 on my turbo coupe

Hey every one my next question is im currently buying the parts i need to install a t3 turbo on my 2.3l IHI. I see two different spots for the waste gate. Some are attached to the header before the turbo and other seem to be attached after the turbo before the down pipe. But in order to do this you need a specail t3 elbow. Is this elbow easy to find or do you guys reccomend a better way to do this.

Unsure SVO or others can answer better. I would say most I seen have the waster gate in the header and just a elbow on the turbo.

The IHI has an internal wastegate and some turbos have a seperate wastegate it really does not make a difference. All it does is bypass the extra boost that you do not want. It makes no difference either way. As long as you can controll the amount of boost you want. You will have to fabricate a down pipe with a turbo that was not designed as a direct replacement for the car. No BIGGIE PIECE OF CAKE
