you would have to have the old flange cut off and a t3 type flange welded on.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I recall seeing some kind of adapters for this situation.

Yes, there are adapter flanges available to go from T2 to T3 flanges. Not sure if they go up to T4 flanges though.

Anyhow, just cutting off the flange from a cast manifold is easier said than done. Not many machinists (welders) have the ability to weld to cast manifolds. At least not around my parts. It'd be a LOT easier to just get an adapter flange and call it a day.

Just an example ^^^

They're all over eBay. The one above is the SSAC.

I would imagine that it's probably going to be a tight fit, depending on the turbine setup, top mount or bottom mount, etc. Looks like it has a lot of un-necessary material, personally. I only show the SSAC because it's the first that popped up. I believe that there are other pieces available, that are literally just a plate. Do a quick search on eBay and you'll see a ton of them.

much cheaper and easier to get a log setup, like the one MATTY MOTO is selling in the for sale area.
