The 5/4 id is less than the gasket / manifold port size so the ends need to get flared a little also. The actual exhaust port size (as opposed to the gasket size) is pretty close to 5/4.
The dual 6/4 merge is a good match for both t2 and subaru 3 bolt flanges.
The oil drains I make myself.
(The stainless tube comes in rolls and it gets cut to length. Tubing is rated for 15 bar and > deg C)
The turbo connection fitting is derived from the first principles of sweat and swearing as it involves 3 holes, threaded pipe, welding, surfacing and gasket in a 1 inch piece.
Why? way to retain the stock coolant line...

Good work Sturovo, your improvement is evident with each iteration
Recent stuff...
T25 kit for a 1.6 NA. with a 15mm thick manifold turbo flange tapped for fancy studs.
A t28 manifold for a 1.6 NA with an external waste gate port. The divided merge extends into the waste gate port and hopefully should help flow.
TD04 for a 1.8 NA
And some kits with 70mm downpipes

Ryan, Ben, I appreciate the kind words!
Austin, It is a bit tricky to make a full downpipe without having the matching manifold in hand as a slight twist at the turbo flange can makes a significant difference at the other end. As an alternative a replacement 60 to 70mm downpipe like this one could work.
Ray, I would like to try Thing is that those turbos were never popular where in Slovakia/Europe so getting my hands on one may be difficult.
They were used on DSM's and evo 3's?
Meanwhile I have been working on a few Subaru based NA set ups
decent clearances
and a NB T25
