I have a 1993 Mustang with a 1986 Turbo and a 1988 Computer and VAM. What boxes do I need to select to get the right setup for the outgoing side of the turbo. The stock rubber elbow and "hotpipe" from the turbo do not leave a lot of room. Do you sell something that will bolt to the pressure side flange of the turbo?
If you don't sell something, does someone have blueprints for something I can make? I work in a machine shop and have welders that owe me favors.
Oh, and as a plug. I bought the full 3" stainless exhaust a few months ago and I love how it sounds. Even in the 1-2-3 gearshifts in around town driving I can really hear the turbo whine. I really love how it lets my engine flow. Just from eyeflick checks it seems as though I get full boost about 300 rpms faster (around 31-3200 rpm vs. 3500).

You have to rotate the compressor housing so it's no longer pointing towards the throttle body, as shown in the FMIC pics on the site. This solves the "not a lot of room" problem.
If your turbo is the 2 bolt non-intercooled type, you have a few options. One is to take the stock pipe that bolts to it and cat it off about 1" above the top side of the flange and then clamp the silicone coupler to that.
Another option is to take that 2 bolt turbo outlet and grind/machine it down to a 2" round outlet (like intercooled cars had) and you can clamp the silicone coupler to.
The final option (since you're a machinist) would be to make a 2 bolt to 2" round outlet adapter.
