If the runners merge into a collector, all you really need to do is cut off the flange and weld up a flange to match your turbo.

So buying a full-race turbo manifold is a cheaper alternative?

It probably won't be "ideal" but it'll work.

BTW, I remember reading somewhere that DC actually made a few turbo manifolds? Hmmmm?

material is too thin, and the turbo will hang too low. I tried somethign similr with my kamikaze header, didnt work cuz it was too low.
