Dunno if that would work. Given it looks to move the turbo a good 3-4 inchs further out from the motor, and your going to a BIGGER turbo. You are going to be very close to the radiator if not hitting it. (or taking up the space where it is supposed to be for that matter).
Get a another stock maifold and just have a new t3 flange welded on it.

yeah, i was thinking the same thing.
I didnt know if all t3 turbos had the same exhaust manifold flange.
t-3 turbos all have the same flange. just like all t25s have the same flange.
i dont think there is room for that adaptor there. im not a fan of welding to cast iron. in all honesty, the best for reliability is to have a turbo header built. this also opens up for using an external wastegate.
Yes, you can use that adaptor. There is a guy on here using that one prior to him making a new manifold. I'm sure he'll chime in here
to use it though is going to require moving the oil return to the pan, up high, but lower then stock (make sure it's above the oil level !!!!"
You'll need new oil feed and coolant lines.. I reccomend using steel braid and adaptors.
you'll need a new charge pipe
New air cleaner
New exhaust
After that it will work great though

Wish that was true, but it isn't. Mopar T-3's for instance use a different flange - one of the bolts is "offset" if you've ever seen one you'll know. I run a Mopar T-3 on my car.
Wow interesting that fits. Seems like you would have clearance issues.

I should have also noted.. you'd have to change your radiator fan shroud, mod it like mine, move it or make a new one etc.. Also, you'll have to ditch A/C if you have the compressor and such.

Stupid question:
Alright, basically the stock oil return line runs to the frontside of the engine.(correct?)
Another Stupid question:
Im really not sure why i will have to move it?
Am i relocating the oil return line because of the new turbo? or because of the spacer?
the spacer is moving the turbo down a few inches. with the turbo lower, the oil drain line will dip down and have to go back uphill. this will make it so the oil wont drain back properly. you need to move the line to the pan so you have the oil draining downhill.

common sense sometimes isnt there when you need it.
