Get another manifold entirely. You should also know the difference between T3 and T4 manifold sizes. For 500hp, that manifold would not have been the best choice from the beginning

I know the difference between the two it's just the turbo I order wasn't this one someone messed up ans actually sent the wrong turbo but I kept it cause it's way better than what I paid for. Anyway what would u suggest for a manifold I'm trying to keep a/c thx again

the 6262 can use a .63 t3 housing, so id imagine the 6265 would be similar... my advice would be to inquire with precision about buying a new housing for the turbo.. our cost on a turbine housing is $160... so i'd imagine the retail isn't much more than $180

a quality ramhorn or any other tubular manifold from a reputable company. thatd be better than a cast manifold if you can afford it.
