S4/S5 turbo

Get a 12a flange and space it out about 1.5 inches, then weld a 13b flange to it. Bolt turbo manifold to that.

Edit: If you get both flanges, just go to an exhaust shop and tell them what to do.

Yeah, any manifold that is a 13b will bolt up to the spacer flange. This also spaces it out enough to clear the nikki carburetor as well. Boost prep and go!
