I have one of those turbos froma subaru also. I am hoping to make it work using the hf manifold and an adapter. it will even clear the ac when i'm done. let me know how yours goes.

the turbo is an IHI RHB5 triangle flange. and i think it will work, i was checking mine out with my plate/gaskets for my MX6 turbo (same turbo but a square mounting flange) and it looked like it would have worked fine. oh well sold it for more than i paid for it....
