Sorry about the turbo problems Nick. IMO you will always struggle a little with the temps with 160/80's. I'd be more inclined to try the 369 with the two's.

Or you could just buy a T4 flange and weld it to some plate that bolts to the block. As cheap as these are, I doubt you could make one for less once you factor your time into it.

Turbo Flanges

Nick,

Just wondering what you decided and how this project is coming along? Are you going with a T4 mount?

I am. I just ordered the 369. It should be here on Tuesday. Guess I should get the old turbo and up pipes out and the spare block back on the stand for building the mount

In the end jarrett pulled through for sure. He didn't just leave me hanging. He kept searching

Well fellas. The new year is almost upon us and I'm just starting to think about the project at hand. I've been to busy with Christmas and a new toy to do much thinking about it but I've got to get on it. The plans are to do a 369sxe and fab my own t4 mount. I plan to emote the 38r turbo and up pipes today so I can begin designing the mount.
