£100 is a joke man, it just a flat bit of steel, even alloy would do, roughly 4 inches square by 3mm thick with 4 holes in it about 2 inches apart, bolt the plate to the 'box using the left hand holes and bolt the shifter bracket to the plate using the right hand holes, which will move the shifter cables and bracket away from the turbo inlet by around 2 inches, enough to get a bigger elbow in there. I'll try and get my camera down there tomorrow to give you an idea of what it looks like.
Any piccy would be awesome rob...Maybe Measurements too 
Yeah got a few u2u today on people offering to make me one up...for cheap...
But i just need measurements....

When i had a GT2x on my car i made a custom bracket for the gear linkage to move the gear linkage over the right abit. I used a standard linkage mount and cut it up and welded extra sections on so it would move over, set the linkage up and it was fine, there was abit of stress on the cables but nothing major, ive just looked over my files on my pc to see if i had any pics of it but i cant find anything. I had to do this just so i could fit a intake boost pipe

Just had a Brain wave...
Could I keep the 2.5 Elbow i have on atm and Get a Metal Joiner made up for 2.5 to 3'' and then use the 3'' for the rest of it...
So basically 3'' then Right near turbo reduces down to 2.5....would same me Moving the Linkages then woulndt it..
Something like this:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Intercooler-a...14&_trkparms=72:1683|66:2|65:12|39:1|240:1318
Then it would be 3'' up to the maf and all the way to the filter...

what i used is 3" 90degree elbow i think then i cut the standard tip down and used a metal joiner to connect them together the metal joiner had a little out pipe to connect the lower vac line to it. i think thats how i did it but it was a year and half back so really cant remember to much lol sorry
Yeah All i need in the tip is a Dv port as i no long have EVAP,SAI,N75 and have a Catch tank fitted
Yeah im going to get a 2.5 to 3'' metal reducer so it will be around 3'' away from the inlet then it will be 3'' all the way up to the filter neck...
As my current Silicone Bend is 2.5 so if i get a joiner it will be a 3'' same as the maf and filter...
Saves me messing around with the linkages...
Looks like you've got it sorted mate, sounds alot easier doing it that way, if you end up need the bracket knocking up still give me a shout.
Started Making my Inlet side of the Turbo tonight with my new 500bhp filter and its 3'' all the way to the reducer...

The last one i had one the charge pipe had a thread on it..this one doesnt...Says push fit...

Just means the hose pushes onto it, it's the same as the other ones, push through from the inside but this time the whole 25mm outer part screws down onto the thread. Better pic of it here: http://www.revotecdirect.co.uk/details.asp?ID=342
