Again im not an expert but on mine it fit really well no probs at all I just had to cut the end down and remove the lugs on the side to be able to push my silivone elbow on further. But on my mates he had the same with his PAS pipe and the 406utp just didnt slot in the gap anywhere near as well. So im not really sure why there's a differnce unless the angle that it connects to the turbo is different on different turbos??

Sounds like your joiner needs a bit of adjustment, ie cut half an inch off it and try again. Only if you've got a spare though lol!

My bottom pipe was a pain to fit correctly .
Im guessing your having the same dilemna
I got the hacksaw and chopped a little bit off turbo end so it sat higher up and then it bended round everything alot better
