Homemade wastegate elbow
 
My homemade wastegate elbow so that my hood can close. Ghetto as ---- but works great and doesn't leak. In other words, does it's job.

if this was honda tech you just spent $40 between 2 flanges and an ace stainless order, plus hired some guy to tig it all up for you and use SS hardware :1

Not bad for $2 in material/gas/electricity. A plasma cutter would be awsome to add to my arsenal.

For some reason, I got 3 of these in [cheap] stainless when I odrered from SSautocrap (wg and fmic). They jiped me on the pictured dumptube, I really wanted the SS tubing for other crap.
