the elbow from the turbo to the downpipe, ive read that they add 10whp, now this kinda makes sense, b/c it is the part the exhaust first exits after the turbo, would it be worth it to buy one? and on some they have a divider b/w the wastegate and exhaust which makes less restriction..
my question is whether or not this actually helps much, and if anyone can back it up, i almost bought one... but i duno
thanks for the help

if you have upgraded everything else and that elbow is what is causing the restriction, yeah it would probably add a few HP. if you have the stock cat, or the stock downpipe, or the stock turbo, or the stock exhaust, no, I would say it wouldn't add much power.
