Turbo manifold using stock header

[m1tch]

Hi all,

Just had a thought about this, I currently have 2 stock exhaust manifolds sitting in my garage (as I am currently running a decat manifold on the car), I was thinking about perhaps welding a flange onto the bottom of the current flange to then be able to bolt a turbo on. I could then add in 2 x 38mm external wastegates onto where the precat chambers are to control the boost level (both the spare turbos in my garage need an external wastegate). I will look to measure them up tonight to see if its viable but mounting the turbo slightly lower means that the CoG is lower as well as having an easy time plumbing the exhaust into the stock system and more space above the turbo for pipework etc.

Has anyone tried this at all?
