Cheers Lee
By the time you add postage and possible import duty/vat it's cheaper to get the £27.50 S/S ones on UK ebay
The problem is,I don't have the correct facilities/eqpt for S/S but can do steel.
I need to make an adapter between the manifold and the turbo to allow for an external wastegate.
Something like this,but with a T4 flange at both ends

I've got the specs for the flange. Just don't know of anyone local who can laser cut them TBH
I won't ask what you were trawling the net for when you "stumbled upon it".
It's best I don't know
