Default Turbo to Manifold Help

Hi all,
I have a gt28r turbo where the studs are attached to the turbine housing instead of the manifold. I am planning on building a DIY manifold with PRL flanges. What is the best way to mount the flange so that they bolt together?

Thanks in advance

As someone with a gt28r and DIY manifold with PRL flanges do yourself a favor and find a way to mount the turbo to the flange the traditional way. I'm not sure if the studs on that turbo can be unthreaded from the housing or if you need to drill them out. If your planning on doing the traditional log manifold method I don't see any way to have the studs on the turbo clear the manifold let alone have access for the nuts. If its a custom is tubular it could definitely work just a little harder.

Which PRL flange are you planning on using on the manifold side? They no longer have the t2 cradle flanges. If you need one or two shoot me a message I got a large batch from them.

I plan on using the standard non-cradle flange. That way I can make like a 1" spacer between the els and the flange for the turbo studs. I see you make the MKTURBO kits, any recommendations on where to put the flange?
