Does anybody know where I can get this kind of elbow without telling me to shut the F**** up and just wait? I didn't expect to come and post on this thread, only to have someone be all rude and just close the thread. I just wanted some advice, thats all. BTW, my friend started the argument with the company, not me.

I not trying to act a fool or anything, but I was wondering if anyone else has heard of Victory Performance, and whether they had issues with making elbows. I am not talking bad about them whatsoever. I just needed some info, that is all.

Sorry for posting on the wrong thread. It seems that the o2 housing that I need is only made from Victory Performance. In my opinion, I don't know whether why is this part so hard to build, or why does it seem to be so exclusive to one company. It is just a 90 degree elbow that bolts to the turbo. Everywhere I go they just seem to have a 4-bolt flange, but mine just happen to have a 5-bolt flange. So if anything else, I have no choice but to to listen to Van's advise on the Vendor's forum and just shut the f**** up and wait so see if the part will ever come in.
 
I spent less than five minutes searching on the internet for "T3 DSM O2 housing" and figured out that Forced Performance has that flange available and I know for sure that they fab up O2 housings that will actually bolt up and not crack. The VP's I've seen have problems bolting up and cracking. I also saw that Diamond Star Specialties sell that O2 housing because they say they do right on their "cast exh mani for garrett T3 turbos" page. Now that it sounds like you've already paid a known problematic vendor and will probably not receive your part like your very own friend; maybe you should check out these two very highly respected and very well known DSM vendors that don't have customer issues about them posted all over the intardnet.

This sounds good and all, however, I actually intend to somehow get rid of this whole turbo setup, since I just learned that everything in the turbo setup(including the turbo) is junk. I am starting to lean toward that FP 3052 turbine setup. I may have screwed myself some $800.00, but I will just take that as a lesson learned. I wonder if Exteme PSI would be a good choice to order such parts...

Sorry again, Greenstreak. Ya'll guys won't believe this. The part actually came in! Thanks for the advice, Van. Nevertheless, I am still considering getting rid of this whole turbo setup. I have been currently looking at the Garrett GT3076R bolt-on turbine upgrade.
 
You should send a PM to the mods to have your vendor review thread for Victory Performance updated with the new info. I'm glad you got your parts and I'd highly recommend Forced Performance.
