Good suggestion, but I would rather change the manifold and turbo than start modifying a stock turbo.

Interesting about the T3, I might look into skyline stock turbos and their size. A mate should have one lying around.

I didn't realise you were looking for a manifold as well. The OP was about the flange so I assumed you were looking at just a turbo swap.

Anyways the Begi manifold looks rather stock and you can then just mount a 2nd hand S15 turbo or something with a T25 flange.

That's my plan when I have a bit more dosh..

...I am the original poster :D

I would prefer to keep the stock manifold and try and find a turbo to suit. But Im not going to have a turbo not suited to the power, or pay an unreasonable amount of money just for the sake of a manifold.

If you had access to a car like this, would you take it back right away? Neither would I.
