That should work allright, expect good boost by betweek 4500 and 5500. Kinda laggy but the wait will be worth it esp. with the higher redline. But don't expect a massive rush of power, it will be pretty smooth and slow coming up onto boost. But when it gets there...... hehe

im wondering the same thing as andrave. Would it be logical to just weld a t3 flange onto the stock manifold, or would this caliber of turbo be unsafe for that.

you can weld a plate or use an adapto plate bolted on with the correct bolt patterns etc...

i will be making a turbo amnifold with t3 flange and wastegate port, but the thing is i have a RHD so it may not clear the steering shaft,a nd still deciding how to position the turbo..

The T3/T4 will fit under the stock manifold, and then you put the wastegate flange on top. We did that with Ray's car, but with a settup like that your giving up a LOT of HP because the stock manifold basically sucks.

Sombody just needs to send the stuff off to JGS tool and get one prototyped and then you're all in business.

I wouldn't wait too long for Adam's manifold......
