Modified S/C outlet

Just wondering what people have done with there I/C piping. The engine is a 4agze into a KE70. I wanted to modify the S/C outlet so it was facing towards the front of the car, but have had some very large quotes to do this work. I think because aluminium welding is involved this is for the high prices.
How have people gone about it?
How much did it cost?
Where did they get it done?
Is it worth doing it?
Thanks

i think most people doing rwd gze conversions dont bother..
they just go over the top of the motor or have a real sharp bend at the outlet
If u want to do major fabrication itll be easier to fabricate a turbo manifold and go from there

Yeah i know what you mean. But thats a little down the track.
The reason for doing it was, i thought, less I/C piping less lag??? Or is it a waste of time?
Looks like i will have to give that idea a miss. Unless someone else can help???

Aluminium welding, as per the previous linked thread isn't too expensive. Mine look exactly the same, however I am unsure of the exact cost. Speak to a place that does tig welding, if you know what needs to be done, it shouldn't take them too long to do.
Good luck

Thanks boys. Thats what I want done. But i've been quoted over $150 so far. I think this is way too much. So i'll keep searching.

Denis was smart and welded the top of the stock outlet on facing forwards. I used normal 2" (I think) alloy pipe.
Get you stock outlet, some alloy tube around 2" ID, a bit of alloy plate, and a bunch of tools.
Chop off the part of the outlet that sticks up, cut a piece of plate to size to fit over this hole.
Drill some holes in the forward facing side of the outlet, file this out until it the correct size. Chop a piece of pipe at a nice angle so it points straight out forward (or use the stock outlet piece a la Denis). Mess around until your new outlet pipe fits nicely over the new hole.
Mark how all parts should fit and take it to a welder. Get them to weld some bumps around the lip so your IC piping doesn't blow off. More than $20 is too much.
