wastegate hole

I don't think the elbows are exactly the same. Yes, they will exactly match the bolt pattern of the turgo, but the wastegate hole is slightly larger, as is the puck that covers it.
Atleast mine was slightly larger than my friends stock GN elbow and I am the original and only owner of the car so I know it was never modified before we took it off to replace it with a Terry Houston elbow. Don't know if that would affect your plans for your project. Just adding my 2 cents.

I think the TTA elbow brings the DP down closer to the motor away from the body line. More than the GN elbow????

Well...I have one on the way $14 shipped...so I'll find out when it get's here. Not a big loss if it is different and I can't use it...I'll port it out and sell it back to a GN owner
