I just got my HF manifold in the mail, and I was putting it together to see what everything looks like, and the idiot drilled the holes wrong!? If I use this adapter plate, not only is the center hole way screwed up (completly the wrong shape and size) but the turbo would mount with the exhaust outlet facing the block (not really facing it, but probably THROUGH it) and the intake side of the turbo would be facing the front bumper! I really need an adapter plate made, please someone help me out!

you know you can rotate the compressor housing on the turbo right?

 

yes I realize that but its not that which is causing the problem. imagine you have your turbo bolted to the manifold. Then you unbolt the turbo, and rotate the whole turbo 90 degrees. that way instead of going from the left to the right, it goes from the front to the back. That way its hitting (or going through) the block, it just won't work! The idiot didn't drill the plate right so now its useless.
HELP SOMEONE. I need either a new manifold or another adapter plate.

anyone? All the places I've checked are selling them for 100 dollars or more.

 

http://thenew.gamesbbs.com/~turbosi/ try this he sells the apter plate for 65 dollars.

 

try to post a pic of it. maybe someone can have a suggestion that way.

 

There are no pictures of the adapter plate or the turbo on my computer, but the adapter plate is useless, it cannot be saved. Would I be better off trying to find a company that sold a manifold with the t-25 flange already on it or what?

hey read the post i post earlier for u they sell adapter plate for a hf mated to a t25

 

You might want to look into one of the un-welded universal log manifolds w/T25 flange. Probably cost less money AND grief..

 

Where could I find one of those? Brands, links?
