I believe most people just slot the flange on the turbo. However if someone were to laser cut an adaptor for one of these I would buy one.

If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of.

What do you mean by slot the flange please? I've searched but only really found adapter plates for the T2.

Shall we get a list going so someone makes a batch *happy*

I have some plates cut from 316 stainless, but they will need drilling and tapping etc.

However, as said above you could just slot the turbo.

Top left of this picture. the Gt17 has the round hole, whereas the T2 has a rectangular hol, bottom left of picture.

I'm not yet convinced that these plates are big enough to make an adaptor from.

The problem is that the studs/bolts overlap, so you have to rotate the turbo.

Anyone one have the correct flange and hole dimensions for a T3? I've searched but the only drawing I could find had a crucial dimension wrong.

Thanks Robert,

Apologies to everyone else, but these flanges are too small to make an adaptor. The T3 studs holes would break through the edge of the plate.
