Default Help with manifold

Hey everyone I'm pretty new to turbos and everything that go with it so try to go easy on me. Im looking at buying a turbo like the one below and I'm trying to find a manifold for for it. Thing is every manifold I find dosnt have the proper flange on it. The turbine has the little divider in it there instead of it being open. I know theres like T3, T4 v band and all that, does that refer to that area? If so, what is this one called? Sorry if its a dumb question but I'm kinda just getting the hang of things.

It's a divided t3 flange. Just because there is a divder in the flange doesn't make it a twin scroll. Iv seen people use regular t3 flanged manifolds and run a divided housing and it's fine. If you want to use the turbo with the divided housing you will have to run a divded housing manifold which usually is at extra cost for manifolds.

OP is there a particular reason why you chose this turbo? What are your goals? What motor are you running?

You also want to be careful and measure the outer diameter of the V-band of the turbine housing and make sure that a standard 3" flange will work with your downpipe. If not, you'll need to find out what downpipe flange is used so that the two will mate up.

Well i chose this one because the guy is selling it for $250 which i think is pretty decent. I'm trying to put together my own kit, I'm not lookin to push more than 10 psi.
