Here is the email, sales@turboglide.com.au I was talking with a woman named Nancy. Maybe we can get a discount on shipping since we are both in the PNW.

I was just digging through some old posts and found this comment about a Turbo-glide manifold with a T3 interface. I was able to get a response back from them last night and they said they have custom castings for these and just need a couple weeks to machine. Now I just have to hope they will...

They just got back to me and said they checked with the warehouse and manifold suppliers and that they don't have a manifold with that bolt pattern. Maybe they did in the past but it seems strange that they would offer a different bolt pattern when they sell a TD05 turbo in the kit.

I just sent another email off to Kinugawa to see if maybe they had a manifold for any other models or something they may have made in the past with the correct mount. I also was going through some photos on the Turbo Glide site and saw they just welded and adapter plate to the stock manifold...

I am still racking my brain on how @JDMBrian mounted this. This is his photo and its definitely a Holset turbo on what looks like a stock manifold. There has to be a manifold out there somewhere with a T3 flange. He said early in his post that he had a 4D35T but I cant find anything when I...

That comparison picture makes it look a lot worse than it actually is. Here is a picture of where the stock gasket lines up. The mounting flanges are over 5/8" thick so there is plenty of meat to grind in a smooth transition. Whatever flow restriction the inlet ports might add I should make up...

Here is the new manifold test fit. If the bolt pattern would have been correct it would have worked perfectly. I think I found the appropriate adapter for the T25 to T3 and it should only add 1" of offset...

@soaringpotato I was looking at a similar adapter but it looks like it is rotated 90° from where it is supposed to be. The long side of the flanges should be aligned but maybe it is just the image. The other problem is the offset, I tore everything apart today and it looks like there is only...

Well I received the industrial manifold I posted about above and unfortunately it has a T2/T25 flange (I probably should have looked into the "25" cast into the manifold in the picture). Now I need to determine if I'll just get an adapter for the stock manifold or for the new one. I found this...

I've been trying to find an oil drain fitting/adapter for the block side. Does anyone know what this fitting size is? The parts diagram lists the o-ring as D=17. For the supply line it looks like I can use this M10x1.25 banjo to AN adapter.

It looks like these industrial/forklift manifolds might have the right mating flange but fitment may be an issue as these orient the turbo upwards for the non-intercooled variant.

@soaringpotato Looks like you are correct. After some more digging I found an image of a stock manifold gasket with the same bolt spacing at the DSM TD05/T25 so it looks like I'll need an adapter or find an aftermarket manifold. I haven't had much luck finding any manifolds, the stock one looks...

Has anyone swapped out their TD05H for a HX30. From what I found online the the manifold flange should be identical. I have one on my 4bt and love it, it spools up quickly and boosts to 20psi without a problem. I believe it also has a larger outlet flange which would alleviate the small outlet...

I got antsy antsy and changed the fluid and added in some of the Motorcraft/Ford friction modifier this afternoon and I am happy to report that it totally fixed the issue. I still can't believe it was that simple and that noise was coming from the back and not the front. I was a little bummed...

Well that is definitely worth a shot, that would be amazing if it was just a fluid change to fix it. I'll give it a try in the next couple days. I also need to look into the missing snap rings, I wonder if there is enough movement in the axle shaft where it is trying to engage the hub
