Re: turbo inlet elbow repair
I used some RTV on the insides of my elbow when putting my engine together. It seems to help. Mine was pretty cracked.

You could spend a couple hundred and go the samco route, but it's too expensive...

Re: turbo inlet elbow repair
Screw that, just make a custom metal elbow, and attach it to the turbo inlet with a silicone coupler.

we should probably do a group buy on these cast metal elbows!
