Cant open the link (just crashed my rpc) and im not typing the link out. But if its a fd exhaust manifold, it does fit. But with some turbos the hotside or compressor might hit the LIM, causing a fitment issue. A 10mm spacer would be pretty easy to get. You could probably just order an engine flange from mazdatrix or racing beat, put in longer studs and use 3 gaskets and stack them.

i've been looking at FD exhaust manifolds, too, because i couldn't find FC ones on ebay. i'm looking for used or cheap (cost) parts for a T2 project.

the manifold will bolt to the engine fine. but you can't bolt a turbo to the manifold because the turbo hits the FC intake manifolds which are different.
the FC exhuast manifolds put the turbo into a different spot further from the engine

Just use an HKS cast manifold, cheap, ugly, proven.
