Tomei / Hks Turbo Elbows, No Provisons For Stock Support Braces?

[Chris Wilson]

Looking at on line photos of HKS and Tomei turbo elbows there does not appear to be any boss to bolt the stock pressed steel braces to them, which go down to the engine block, to help unload the manifolds. Do their makers not allow for these braces to be used then? Thanks.

those standard braces run off the dump pipes, not the intake/turbo elbows. and many aftermarket dumps dont allow for them because they require a large extension to the dump's flange.

Here in the UK the dump pipes are commonly called the turbo elbows, and it's those to which I was referring. I believe the HKS ones have provision for the stock braces, which I really would like to continue to use, I don't suppose anyone has any decent photos of an HKS "dump" do they? Thanks for the reply.
