Anyone on here weld Aluminum, i bought a 20g turbo,it has the 2g elbow pointing toward the passenger side,i need the elbow cut and spun 180 so it faces the drivers side,so i can hook it up to my short route piping ,as the jamie Loo front mount kit i bought only has a 45 elbow which does nothing..Or some other alternatives to fix this would be cool as well

Hey Mike.

Have you thought about cutting the elbow off and going with a 2-2.5" 90 deg. coupler off the turbo?

Something similar to this:

If you do all the prep work, it shouldn't be hard to find a custom fabricator shop to weld it.

I didn't want to play with couplers over there, so I went all the way with mine tongue

It's not a big job to cut that off and flip it around, though i'd suspect it's not worth the drive out to get it done smile

I cut the elbow out of mine and had it welded pointing down. Then I used a 90ยบ coupler to connect it to the SSAC-style FMIC.
