Adapter plate for WRX turbo still available?
As some of you may know, the TD04H-13T off a WRX uses a weird flange where it connects to the uppipe (or in a miatas case, directly on the header). Rather than the typical T3 or T2 flange, it looks more like a triangle such as the one found here:

I remember reading somewhere that BEGi used to supply an adapter plate for this turbo, but I can't seem to find it anywhere. Anyone know where you can find one, or if one can be made? The reason I ask is because I have my stock WRX turbo just sitting in my garage and I figured I put good use to it. I looked up a thread somewhere and found that the turbo produces great numbers for what I plan on using the car for with lightning fast spool. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I've never seen a WRX adapter...hmmm. If it did exist, a cheap chinese copy will be on ebay. maybe you can take a T2 or T3 flange and weld a WRX flange onto it. Weirtec has WRX inlet flanges, both the 5bolt/up pipe flange and the 3 bolt/turbine inlet flange, if you don't need the extra 2 bolt holes.

BEGi has made one, the designed it when I asked them to make me one to adapt it to a T3 manifold. Great street turbo, just runs out of steam on the top end, but the midrange punch is awesome!
