Turbo elbows

Im going for a Gt28r turbo as soon as i find the best one for my money and am wondering if i can use my T25 elbow(downpipe) or if il have to get a custom one made?

Looking at this picture of the exhaust side of this gt28r

the stud pattern looks the same as the T25, any ideas???

i think one of the holes on the t25 downpipe has to be filed/extended a bit but otherwise there the same

i have a gt28r on my ca18det and before i fitted a ss auto chrome stainless dump pipe i tried the old s12 one to see if it would fit and it did.

The std s12 elbow is a 4 stud pattern though although it does go on, it just wouldnt be a good hold as the gap between the studs is to far.

i found on mine i could move the studs and got the s13 6 stud pattern with it

a friend of mine fitted a t28 on his ca18det, and thats what he had to do?

Youve lost me mate? the s13 uses the T25 which is a 5 stud housing

told you before that I've used the s12 elbow on a t25 which is near enough the same fitting as a t28. using 3 studs and it's holding fine still. Preets violet is done the same way
