My new manifold uses a Tial 46mm flange but I have a 38mm

I picked up a topmount from a buddy for cheap. It uses a 46mm WG flange. I have a TIal 38mm gate. Until I can afford a 46mm gate can I weld a 38mm tapped flange to a 46mm drilled flange?

yeah but then you need to cut both off and re-weld on a 46mm flange. seems kind of backwards to me...esp considering you may get boost creep depending on turbo size and placement of the WG in relation to the manifold

And I already checked ATP. They don't make one.
