The flange of the wastegate will need to be EFFECTIVELY welded shut, and you must find a T3---T2 flange conversion for it, which may seat the turbo a little lower.

It might be a better idea to get the inexpensive HKS manifold.

I would go with the t3/t4 style drop-in available from atpturbo.com. I think you'll be needing an oil restrictor and run your lines for water cooling. Best of luck as I'd love to upgrade to that turbo also.
