Cheers Lee :thumb:

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 meant make the flanges. The specs for them are easy enough to find.

No afraid not, just randomly stumbled upon it.

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
