The Eastern piping comes in two styles..one requires reclocking the compressor housing down at a 45 or so angle (which you can't do if you're using a stock actuator)...this is the "external gate" piping.
Jon, get one 90 degree mandrel bend 2.5" aluminum pipe from Burns Stainless, JC Whitney, or wherever. Borrow a chop saw, cut the 45 angle off of the top of the pipe, cut your new piece to meet the compressor outlet, and go get someone to TIG it together. Shouldn't cost more than $50 all together. If you have access to a bead roller, bead roll a flange on the pipe before welding to keep your hoses on.
