If log style than just buy some Tees and Els in Schedule 40 from http://www.mcmaster.com/. What size to get will depend on where you want the turbo to be most efficient. Smaller sizes will spool sooner but won't breath into the higher RPMs as well.

well im boosting my b18a1 and wont really be going above 6500rpm. so smaller would probably be better right just so it spools faster and wont need power at very high rpms since im not going above 6500-7000rpm? o and its a t3 if it matters

I used the 1.5" sched. 40, 90 deg bends from mcmaster. u might want to go smaller if you are not going to run much boost. don't know what your intentions are.
