Wastegate Adapters

So here’s the new dumb conundrum; I have an HKS Wastegate and a Greddy flange on my manifold. Does anyone know of a flange to adapt the two together? Or if there’s something I could weld onto the manifold? I’m not 100% above some mild slapdashery to make this work. Anyone know of anything? Or does anyone by chance have an HKS mani they wanna trade for a Greddy?https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...db93011f2.jpeg

I think the easiest/cheapest/best way in this situation would be to find a muffler shop that can make a flange for the HKS wastegate (or buy a flange online) and then have them weld it on to the flange on the manifold. Or have them cut the flange off, weld on new one, there you go.

You may need to work with a muffler shop to get some of the exhaust fabbed up anyhow.

Thanks for the advice Dale. I shopped around a bit, haven't found anywhere that sells HKS flanges that style so I may get a local machinist to punch a couple out for me. I'll most likely wind up welding it on my machine. I like the idea of simply slapping a flange on top of the existing one however, I hadn't even thought of that.
