Default GReddy TT p/s fitting???

i bought a used GReddy kit back a few months ago, and im missing all kinds of parts i have found, nothing really major or expensive, but causing headaches non the less. b/c GReddy claims all this **** i need has to come from Japan, i have had several things fabricated, but the one thing i worry about is the power steering adapter. does anyone know if there is anything else i can do to get around ordering this part from GReddy? or would it be possible that any shop reps who might see this post would have this around?? there are a couple other things im afraid i might need as well. any help is appreciated, and yes, i have seached, if its been mentioned in another thread, it definatly wasnt the main point of the post

TIA

Take the stock power steering fitting and cut off the neck and have it rewelded into the correct postion (like the one greddy uses.) The stock piece is a better fitting piece anyway.

or make a small slite in the silicon coupler to snugly fit around the stock p/s "spout". It doesn't take a long slit.

i assume you took it off to bend to prevent damage? the purpose of the relocation is for the turbo intake pipe, not the turbo outlet, right? its freaking impossible to tell from install directions pics

that is correct.
the intake pipe will hit if not bent correctly.. however you should take it out and bend it...
or cut and re-weld

hmmm...... i also dont have that big cast elbow coming off the turbo itself. i can tell by the wya some of the piping looks that this wasnt a GReddy piping kit, so maybe the routing will be a little different

just installed my PS connector ten minutes ago the fitting is sloppy :/ and the welding looks like hell!! im glad i bought new, because as i was installing it i was wondering if all the used kits people were selling if they were taking all these small extra pieces off!!

Good luck with the fix, i cant believe they dont have any in teh US :/ . if you lok at the karenz picture that PS part is just so that pipe that goes to the inducer can make its way to the front maybe you can make something out of the stock setup...good luck
