I started cutting it today 
Already keen to make progress I lopped one end off. Another 12.50 down the drain
Now you can see why I don't like anything that involves custom fabrication. Having said that on my "Exhaust elbow to downpipe" thread it seems like Diggers is running a large radius elbow.
Just reading the thread, the one posts you made in regards to the elbow (other one was a reply to a comment I made):
Nothing specific regarding to radius of the elbow.
Not necessarily, I spoke to Ginge191 who had a GT15 but he said it would be 30 quid in postage alone. Besides I needed the elbow, not the whole thing. Part of the cost is paying for the labour of taking things apart. And as said, elbow has already been cut now, much to your amusement.
Most people in the exhaust elbow thread were of the opinion that the less tight radius elbow would be fine, if you could have posted something contrary at the time that would have been helpful. Here's the thread for reference:

Edit: Depending on how much it would foul the gear linkages I could always bash it slightly with a hammer to make it clear them.

theres turbos on this forum for sale for that very often...and blown ones for nothing

Go with the tight radius bend or you're going to run into a whole load of issues that you don't need to. At least then you can sell the current elbow and get some money back on it, once you start cutting it's worthless.
