Default adaptor to change turbo flange?

i have a mani for a T3 or T4 bolt pattern but got a great deal on a T28 ball bearing turbo.......any idea on how i could solve with problem without making a new mani?

its a cast mani. i was thinking of taking a really short pipe (2" long give or take) and putting two flanges on it.

Your best bet would be a square adapter plate with both bolt patterns. There are several companies out there that make adapter plates for various turbos. Check out http://www.homemadeturbo.com and check the stickies in the forum for some of these companies. Their site is down right now for upgrades (3-1-05 @ 10am).

that's should work. Just make sure you measure so the turbo doesn't sit too low.
I'm guessing you chose this route because you dont have access to a drill press
