Does anyone own up to this bodge job?

Who knows about turbo elbows and high boost levels? Im running 14psi and did have (until yesterday) a segragated waste gate sort of screamer pipe thingy which was horrendously noisy. I have a standard one to go back on in its place but I have also bought some 720cc injectors and am hoping to get her to fusion for a map once Ive put her back together. So standard or oversized elbow?

I don't do bodge's, everything else on my car is in perfect condition with no expense spared, and soon this will be aswell. Who ever made and fitted this contraption needs a slap. If I would have realized quite how poorly fitted this was I wouldnt have run her... There was no gasket, only 3 bolts holding the elbow on and the lambda sensor was welded into another threaded section and the end wasnt even close to the exhaust gas's because the boss was so deep and the amount of mig wire sticking out of the inside was a joke.

Back to my original question is the standard turbo elbow restrictive or is it good enough for 350bhp?
