Does anyone have for sale or knows where to buy the 90 degree cooling elbow and the an fitting that you find on a stock k26 turbo on the side that goes to the pump(drivers side of turbo center section).

trp951 that would be awesome if you could find it if not no biggy. and xsboost i love your car, when im finished i imagine mine will look similiar not to copy. but im looking for the fitting and elbow for the turbo cooling that is 2 piece the first piece screws into the center section then the elbow screws on to that its the fitment on every stock 951 for the cooling on the side that goes to the turbo coolant pump. the pass. side fitment is the pipe with the sensor.

Just FYI, that piece was retro-replaced by Porsche. The new configuration is a straight metal pipe followed by an expensive heat-shielded rubber elbow hose. Not sure why they updated it but presume it was for heat management.

I see. In that case, perhaps you need one of these...

It's a stock fitting, and an extension brazed in place. See this thread for half a dozen ways to deal with that issue:

There is also a short sensor available at Napa if you run in to clearance issues.

Spyder348 - pm me if you're going with a custom water pipe as Tom pictured. I have about 4' of that tubing left from when I did mine. For the price of postage I'll send you a 6" piece. You need to be careful when reaming out the body of the pipe, you want a the tube to fit snugly. There is also a slight bend needed in the pipe to get the extension over the turbo at the correct angle. Mines out at the moment so if you need some detailed pics that can be arranged.
