Re:Custom Down pipe ?
Honestly their can be so many different downpipe configurations, everyone is custom. Nobody will just have a "downpipe" that will just bolt on your setup, think about it.. everyone mounts their turbos with different manifolds, on different engines, with different angles (i.e how the compressor is mounted) Some have 1 o2 sensor bung, some have 2. Some have wastegate dump tube entry's some dont.. you could make 20 different downpipes for that turbo with different configurations and none could fit your car.
Basically, in a nut shell, you will have to take it to a custom exhaust shop and have them build you one.

Re:Custom Down pipe ?
Yea I kind of figured that unless I get lucky at a junkyard one day and find a complete turbo there but thats gonna be almost impossible. O.k. well do you know of andy places or sites that can just give me the flange and I can make the rest. www.cheapturbo.com has the flange I need but it has a block off plate in it to convert my internal waste gate to a external so I really can't use it. Unless as a last resort buy it and just drill or bore a new hole where it's suppose to be.

Re:Custom Down pipe ?
I know I've seen this flange but I don't want to block off my internal watse gate. Can I just drill another hole next to it or make the hole bigger so I can still run my stock waste gate. If in worse case senario can I use this floange..black the waste gate. And drill a hole in my HF manifold and run a external waste gate ? But still I'd like to keep it as a internal waste gate so can I just make the hole bigger?

Re:Custom Down pipe ?
Ahh, I see, you will need to get the o2 exhaust housing flange with the flapper then..
The "swing valve assembly" (the middle one)
Or, you can block it off, and run an external gate off the HF manifold it should work if its welded good enough.
