Hi as anyone got any pictures of the elbows I just bought some not received them yet but from the pictures they both look different were they bolt up to the turbo one looks like four bolt hole an the other looks like six thanks stephen

Should both be four bolt buddy.

thanks when they turn up I get a picture up I told him that mine was a tt 1991 an he said that's what they were for they new never used from the pictures I seen one looks right the other doesn't one got a longer neck an were they bolt up to the turbo they look different thanks Stephen

They aren't symmetrical btw, obviously they are handed but the turbos themselves are offset. The passenger side Turbo sits further towards the wing and the drivers side further towards the engine, this is to do with the way the turbos are adapted to fit the car known as clocking. What I'm saying is when they arrive don't be surprised to see they look unmatched. They definitely must be both four bolt though, stock turbos are four bolt exhaust housings. Larger aftermarket ones are often 5. I don't think anyone has a six bolt one on a Z as those are on even larger turbos.

Yeah one of those is wrong. In pic three the bottom one is a Z32 one for stock turbos the one above, Christ knows what that's from.
