I think people are buying or fabing spacers to clear the valve cover. I don't think you have to get a new manifold.

cxracing = ssautochrome = xspower = stone mountain, so that's why it doesn't fit. it's not a quality part so fitment will vary a lot between the manifolds. get the flange cut off and rewelded

T3/T4 3 Bolt????Are you talking about the turbine exit being 3 bolt???

Because All T Flanges are 4 bolt to my knowledge.

I know some of those KKK turbos are 3 bolt.IHI and Apexi maybe....

Yeah fill us in...

If I were u just get that 6boost mani.Or maybe the lovefab, dunno how much that one is though....Or there always that manifold from Japan that's made in China.I believe its supposed to be good.Check it out there's a thread on it.

Put the stock manifold back on unless your going to shell out some real money for a good quality manifold.

Just use the stock manifold

all you need is a spacer and longer studs for it to clear the cam covers
