90 degree bend needed for compressor housing, where to get??
I need a 90 degree bend for me compressor housing. I want a piece that is made out of the same material and same thickness. I went to mcmaster.com, but their web site is hard to navigate (for me anyhow). Any one have any ideas on other places that may sell this piece? If not, im sure that I can find one locally. Thanks allot everyone.

Im in this same dilemna i need one, but i just can't break down and spend $40+ shipping on a stupid little piece of silicoce 
Instead im just goign to buy a thinner filter and slap it on the end of the inlet.
http://www.atpturbo.com sells them for $40, I wish i would have ordered it when i ordered all my couplers, but i didnt knwo i need it until after install.

Roadraceengineering.com sells aluminum bends.. they are cast tight radius.. I assume you mean the compressor outlet.. it sounds like quick is talking about the filter.

yeah i was referring to a 90 deg silicone elbow, i just noticed that he was looking for a bend. I contemplated both, but using a 90 silicone elbow would give me more room. Most 90 bends you find will not be a tight enought radius turn to fit. I know turbonetics makes a bend that will work perfectly, but it's kinda pricey. It all depends on how much room you have to play with.
My dilemna was $40 for 90 silicone elbow and then a short piece of straight attached to filter, vs 3" straight coupler attached to a sharp 90 small bend attached to filter. I finally decided to say **** it and just sell my existing filter and buy a thinner one that will fit directly on outlet

The road race ones look like a slicon one shape wise but are cast aluminum. I think they make a 3" for the filter side also. Last I checked they are about $25

$25 thats good price, you may want to pm, b18flip he has a website that had what your looking for. They were around $20-25 a piece.
Jeremy, yeah jotech had a 3" turbonetics bend but it was $50 and that was a already a low price because the smaller 2.5 one was $45
I didn't want to spend that much$ plus another coupler
