m42 Turbo Flange

You can get turbo inlet flanges from most exhaust tube suppliers in either mild steel or stainless. For the head flange, I think there is someone here that makes them or may know where to get one. Anyone?

If you are on a budget, use the stock header, turn it upside down and mount the turbo to the chassis. For details, go to 'Stock header turbo build'

What turbo do you plan on using?

The easiest way to find a flange might be to get one made for a M50 (much more popular in the US than the M42) and then cut off two of the ports.  Everything else should match up since enough people here have used the M50 turbo manifolds for their builds.
