Re: Turbo flange and down pipe?
The word is indeed that angled flange turbo outlet flows the best which is consistent with what you'd expect by looking at them all side by side. I haven't messed with them myself just telling you what i've read. I don't know that you get more hp but you might get less boost spike due to reduced back pressure. I would expect you need a tune matched to get the absolute most out of the turbo outlet type. Conical I would get rid of if you can but your car should have a straight flanged outlet. It's probably not a big return on investment to go to angled if you're already set up with straight. On the other hand if you're getting a downpipe and are obsessed with doing it right then why not go with angled flange outlet and then tune it to match.
