Well SSauto let me return the manifold I purchased that didn't fit. They even gave me a refund, so I ended up making $100 over what I put into it. The problem is now...I'm manifoldless. I'm just going to go ahead and build my own log manifold since it seems the easiest and cheapest route at this point. I don't need anything crazy right now, just reliable, and this way I can make it fit like I want.

Problem though is I've got all the materials that I'll need sourced except for the turbo manifold flange that bolts to the head. Anyone know where I might be able to get one or maybe have an extra one laying around? Ebay doesn't have any at the moment.

If you can't find one, its as easy as taking the manifold gasket to a machine shop and have them cut one out for you out of some 3/8" steel.

I thought about doing that, but I wasn't sure if I'd end up paying more to have one made than to buy one. I don't really know what a machine shop would charge for something like that.
