changing a flange on a SS manifold?

is it too hard to change a flange on an RX6 manifold to a T4 flange type?
and would it crack. i'll not do the welding. i'll probably take it to a pro to do it.
i don't want the manifold to last forever, all i want is 1 year untill i can get a better manifold.

it should work as long as the welds are good but are you sure the new turbo is gonna fit on there ?? the apexi is small and you might need a small turbo to make it fit properly

i'll run a 62-1 with a .96 hot side.
i did't buy the manifold yet but i'm assuming that since its a tubular manifold, the turbo should fit with no problems

One if the problems i might see coming up would be the turbo clearing the UIM if it is to much larger then the original.
