I want to know if anyone has interest in using an evo 8 manifold for correct placement of the turbo but still using a dsm turbo to clear the starter.. I am getting with a guy that makes the flanges and creating one that will work for the app.. Its going to cost and ill have to pay the price for R&D but if it works like i think it will we should get a lot more room to play with for the downpipe.
they already have them

And there are evo8-t3 adapter flanges on ebay also

Those flanges are the reverse of what I want. They allow you bolt an evo 8 turbo to a an 1g 2g manifold. I want to use the evo 8 manifold with a dsm turbo to clear the starter.. but the flange will look similar.
that flange seems weird. the dsm pattern is threaded and the evo pattern is not and is countersunk on the back side.
wouldn't that suggest that you bolt the flange to the evo maifold using the countersunk holes so the back surface is flat and then bolt a dsm flange turbo up using the threaded holes?
on the flange you listed the dsm turbo holes are threaded so that you can bolt the flange to a dsm manifold. The flange gets bolted to an evo 8 turbo which is why the evo holes are coutersunk. That way everything sits flush against the dsm manifold when you bolt the flange to the evo 8 turbo beforehand..
What i want is counter sunk dsm holes and threaded evo 8 holes to bolt to the evo 8 manifold and use the dsm turbo..
I have that flange is anyone wants to experiment? I just used it for a few miles on my old 2g.
Oh I see I forgot the dsmanifold is not threaded
