Default flex section between the turbo compressor and the charge pipe ?

I think I may need to use some kind of a flex section for that ... what have you guys used ... couplin ?

I need to go from a GReddy 15G compressor to 2.5" pipe, but it's like kinda fucked up angle .. **** ..

... or just to weld some pieces of 2.5" pipe that will go just to the turbo ... but it's harder to make it this way, I think

You can't use a flex pipe... Just make the proper angle you need with some pipes and weld them togehter. not too big of a deal.

flex pipes do not seal that well when filled with compressed air. Can you not clock the compressor any to help with the angle? Pics or something would be abit more help.
