Water pump housing (turbo)

I’m searching for a replacement water pump housing for my 1988 Turbo motor. Mine was destroyed on removal due to sized solid mounting studs (not to self, apply anti seize to pump mouthing studs.....)
anyway I have gotten a few PM’s on a marketplace ad I placed but seems like the price people want these days is a bit steep. I remember finding these things in good used condition for $50-60 a few years ago. Well if I have to pay top dollar for a used part I would rather just go new if I can.
I found that Atkins is selling a housing they have listed for NON Turbo. I have compared pictures of there part to mine. Only difference I can see is the outlet nipple that would feed my factory style turbo is capped off on there housing.
does anyone have experience using this housing on a turbo motor? Can I just take the plug out and install a brass nipple to feed my turbo? I will attach pictures of there housing and the one off my car.
T






hanks Everyone!

I don't have a waterneck but I do have a possible solution. I'm running a stand-alone so my turbo water return is routed to the back of the neck. I've seen some people get a hose barb welded to the NA neck
