Buy the bends and have it welded. Are you going with 3" IC piping? How much power are you planning on making?

Contact Sam at Coastal Dyno (screenname: sam@coastal). He did a great job fabricating Scott's stainless tubing on his custom turbo'd Mustang.

99 neon turbo kit including fmic $425 thinking about 3 but whatever will work without the nitrous looking at 225hp approx.

3" pre-turbo, maybe, charge piping would be better at around 2.25 for your goals.

Yeah, no crap. 3" IC piping for 225 hp is going to suck.
