its a bit of differance, to get the collector to match up you will have to cut a good 1/2inch off of the bottom of it. (not including the t3 flange)

send it back to Ron, im sure he will have no problem doing the flange swap for you.

what , I would do is get a dual drilled inlet flange wich has bolt patterns for T3 and T4 exhaust housings ,http://www.bmcrace.com/product_info....roducts_id=159 , and then drill the threads out of the flange on the manifold and bolt the dual drilled flange up to that , do some quick port matching with a die grinder , then attach the T4 turbo ith studs and nuts , easyest and fastest way to do it with out making undoable changes ,

Butt than i have another problem because a T4 turbo is huge so the turbo gets a lot lower than it already is.
