Default Anyone in UK make these?

Hi All,

Does anyone know of anyone selling these in the uk? done some googling but can;t find much, maybe I'm searching for the wrong thing.

It's an adaptor to go rotated rather than having to change the entire up pipe etc...

Probably more of a bespoke thing to have made , however that does look like a good option to have so will keep an eye on this myself ;-)

I would speak to AS Performance - he does lots of bespoke stuff and would come top of my list of people who might do these

to be honest, as soon as you put the word "bespoke" in front of something that means its going to be expensive haha... There is a "Vendor" on NASIOC selling them for $250 shipped but they seem like they would be easy to make for somebody with a little patience.

Hi there

I think I've seen someone has made something similar over here while,i will try to dig out this thread and as above I would speak with Alyn@AS Performance or Gary@G-R Performance or John Goulding,he done few works for us which has been custom and he done great job on that

Hope this helps

Thanks,Jura

Negative.
However you can weld your own up (you obviously have a welder to make the downpipe you will need too)
I made my flanges, however they are cheap on eBay.

Cheers mate... i am comfortable welding thats no problem. Suppose will just be a trial and error getting it to fit.

Ive been looking for the flanges and came across those but wasnt sure as they were mild steel? Anyone know where to get stainless ones?

Why you want stainless? Not an ideal material for that job

Oh really? I had assumwd it needed to be stainless as thats what all the up pipes etc are made of. Mild steel is better for me anyway as easier to work with... what about rust etc? No problems?

MS will be more stable, a flange that thick won't rust.
The pipe itself can be stainless

I've sorted an oil return, but worried my oil feed braided line won't reach, anyone know where I can get an extender or a longer line?

+1 haha I don't even need to do this... I just like tinkering with my car and doing little projects like this. get a good feeling when (if) it works and I have done it myself.

Managed to make one of these up... quite happy with it... but in the end the downpipe was just too hard for me to make as it needed to navigate around my external wastegate which isn't in the ideal position for the rotated setup, would have needed to move that and couldnt be arsed haha. heres photos of my bracket... just incase anyone is thinking of doing similar and is wondering about angles etc...

Why not use the internal gate?
