What's going on guys? It's been a while since I've posted, but I'm always around (especially checking to see when those cams are gonna be done :3d_frown: ). This is my current set-up:

Re-built motor with 3k miles
-Re-balanced crank
-Crower Rods
-.40 JE Pistons/ Rings
-Titanium Valve Springs & Retainers
-2.0mm HKS Stopper HG
-Stainless Steel Valves
-Level 5 Frankenstein Greddy TD06-20g (Garrett E60 Compressor Wheel/Flows 750 CFM) on ebay manifold
-Port & Polished Intake manifold
-Maft-Pro
-Ported Throttle Body (64.6mm, Duane's old set-up)
-680cc Injectors, Walpro etc......

So, in short, in order to mount my 20g on the ebay manifold, I needed an adpater and a custom V-Band Elbow (Produced by Jon@MDC). However, the T3 V-Band 2.5"-3" adapter I purchased from ATP doesn't match up with the 20g :cry: . The spacing on the holes are correct, but they do not extend outward enough. Now, I'm stuck. I was in contact with them and they said they would made me a custom piece, however, the emails stopped, and goodluck trying to contact them over the phone. Sorry for the long post, but where do I go from here? Once I get this straightened out, all I have to do is hook up my electronics and fab up some IC pipes with the help of Bryan (Slow66). Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Edit: I posted a picture of a T3 Internal Wastegate ATP offers on their website. Thats the exactly what I needed my adapter to be, but I guess it didn't work out.....

Yeah I kinda got that feeling too after I read it. Basically, I need to find a new 2.5" to 3" V-Band Adapter that will fit my T3 because the one from ATP wont fit. A machine shop quoted me at $385 to make a custom piece, but thats out of the question.....

You can tell from the pics, that the 3 tabs which are on my elbow do not extend outward enough to match up with my exhaust housing....Either I need to find a new adapter of some sort, or some place that can make a custom piece....
