your car is not turbo from the looks of it so I assume you are looking for manifold that can fit an external wastegate and is flanged for a T3 for a kit you are making.
in that case, I really recommend you just put an internal wastegate on your turbo instead and use a Hahn manifold. It is really easy to find a T3 turbo with an internal gate, and they generally work pretty well. Unless you want to go nuts and have very careful control of your boost, that is the only time you will need the extra control an external wastegate allows.

alright i just emailed them and told them to either give credit to who actually made/put together the kit, or take it off the site
