You buy an adapter. You need to do some searching, and read some of the build threads here.

somehow begi have them without flanges http://www.bellengineering.net/produ...roducts_id=406 doesnt look like they are using adaptors.
i dont think begi are machining off brand new flanges are they they look cast.

Way back in the day when begi & fm were still working together they would source their turbos from Limit Engineering. Limit would machine the flanges off. I got one of these old school GT2560R's by contacting limit directly (they will sell to whomever, I used to get my garrett stuff from them before becoming a tial dealer) and asking for it. It was an upcharge of about $50 I think, this was circa 2001 so they may not remember what you are talking about, and if they do they may not offer it anymore now that ATP and the chinese/ebay have the pretty adapters.
The most recent garrett turbos from BEGI I've seen have had round inlets welded to the flange. BEGI is very, very good at welding aluminum, it looks very pretty and makes more sense than machining the flanges round.

no its not going to be a bitch to plumb this turbo into a miata turbo, I did it my self, you just need the Nissan/Garrett adaptor that matchs the turbo :
** note, the set up is not done yet, but almost, his might give you an idea of the fitment

** forgot the factory inlet pipe, it's while I'm waiting for my 3" U-Bent

** same thing, forgot about the air filter, it's there until the Megasquirt is ready and tuned
