Default Td05-12a question. Please help.

Hi,
I just got a TD05-12a from one of my friends. I have a 92 civic with a d15b swap, crx si tranny, CAI, and stock exhaust with just upgraded stainless 4-2-1 header. I was wondering if the TD05-12a manifold has the same flange as the 14g and evoIII manifold. So If I buy one for a td-0514g will my 12a bolt up correctly? Please help. Thanks.
Nathan

P.s. I will be getting a custom downpipe made and custom cat back.

wow. haven't seen anyone use a Starquest turbo of that size on D-engine. It's possble, but since that turbo is from a different generation of cars from 1987, its hard to say. Manufacturingly speaking, it should be the same, but it is best to compare, considering that the StarQuest used a truck motor.

I'm hoping, but obviously I would like to be 100% sure it will work before ordering. Yea I got the turbo for like 50 bucks. So no reason not to use it. Thanks for the advice. Anyone know from experience if it will work with the td05-14g manifold?

Just because it was 50 dollars doesn't mean it should be used. If the internals of the turbo are FUBARd, it could ruin the motor. Just a "doctors" assessment

I'm rebuilding it anyways with new bearings and whatnot. So I'm not extremely worried about detonation. But I will keep that in mind. thanks again.
