i got the plate the manifold and the turbo i just need to attach them all together do i just say line up the ports?

I am sure that TD had some pictures of what to do to fir the T2 adapter plate.

Basically if you offer the plate up to the manifold you will see that the holes on the plate overlap the existing T3 holes. You need to rotate the plate until you have enough metal to drill and tap 4 M8 holes. The put some M8 studs in the holes and bolt it all together, manifold, plate and turbo.

Before you are finished you will need to grind the plate to flow nicely from the manifold through the plate into the turbo.

Hope that makes some sence.

Ben
