I have the same problem, I am looking for the same EM as you need mate... Wrote even a WANTED post but no answers yet

Can a k26 be machined to t3 but not the other way around?

I'm also on the lookout but web thinking of making my own. Or at least an adapter of sorts.

Looks like I lucked out and bought one just in time last May

Yep because the hole is bigger for T3 and the bolt pattern is different. covered here http://www.s2forum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=35726

What you can do is make or buy the T3 to K26 adapater. 034 used to sell one but removed it from production.

Probably worth just going tubular manifold

[FabS6]

I think I agree with Jamo about going for a tubular... because having the adapter plate will modify the other distances of the DP so the wastegate exh will not fit either and you maybe could have fittings problems connecting the DP to the rest of the exhaust.

Just can't understand why they discontinued the K26 plate on an exh manifold replica that originally has the legendary KKK turbo... comments reserved.

[Jamo]

It's discontinued because you have do a minimum production of the manifolds in bulk and the cost and volume of a new run are no longer financially viable.

Great :-((((

same problem bought a genuine sport manifold but having a adapter tigged on with countersunk bolts hope it works as spent 1600 on hybrid turbo but any machine shop can knock one up

[Billman]

buy a copy and simply machine the dodgy spots.

Some US shops list the original wagner with k26.
