Default Extension Plate For Turbo Manifold

I've been reading about people using extension plates behind their turbo manifolds to give a little distance from the turbo and the block. Where can I get those plates?

I guess you mean a headflange. Just buy one from one of the vendors on here. It's kind of ghetto and not that cheap, but it can work.

Thanks for the response. You run a exhaust gasket, then you put the spacer on, then you run another gasket, and then you throw on your turbo manifold is that how its done?

Thank you, makes upgrading the 15g a lot easier without taking too much off my block now.
