Another place you could touch base with is Turbo Glide here in Australia, as I know they have been installing turbos on these motors for a long time.
They might be able to give you some insight on a suitable manifold. I have a feint memory that they may have made their own version for the Canter.

LOL, I hadn't noticed that, the 90 degree rotation. Great eye! Order cancelled

I'm like 90% sure his manifold came from Kinugawa or similar. They produce, or used to, a manifold that looks to have a T3 mount.

Description - Is the factory turbocharger feeling a little tired? Or if you are ready to make a little more power without going way over the top, then you will be pleased with the Kinugawa TD05H-18G Turbocharger. This is a great upgrade for those looking to make more power while maintaining a...

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. That might be my best option at this point.

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 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 ship to the US. Still waiting for a response on that.

Outstanding sir! What's the email you used to contact them with? I'll let them know I'm interested as well.

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.

It's good to have confirmation that my memory is somewhat reliable.

The turboglide manifold got delivered and it fits great.
I still need to drill and tap for the pyrometer, where are people locating these in their manifolds, I would prefer pre-turbo measurements.
I think the last big hurdle is going to be the oil drain. Holset specifies a minimum drain ID of 3/4" and the stock drain has an ID of only .540" at the inlet to the block. Any other options for a bigger oil return line?

Are those 2 bosses on the right hand side of the manifold solid?
If so, they seem to be an ideal location for an EGT probe.
On my truck there is a similar boss on the dump pipe (post turbo), which is what many people seem to use.

I drilled and tap into the stock turbo. Figured it'd be a more accurate temp reading by encompassing all 4 cylinders than just one. Also great news on the manifold! I've been in contact with them as well; planning on making the purchase in the new year.

Yea, id prefer to get it as close to the collector as possible so I'm not just reading one cylinder. There is a good spot on the bottom of the manifold if there is enough wall thickness for a thread but I'm not sure if there is enough clearance, I'm still waiting on the probe to ship. I didn't ever think to drill and tap the actual turbine housing, I need to go check and see if there is a good spot for that.
For the oil return tube I'm thinking about drilling out the stock drain location and tapping for a 3/4"-14 npt. Th stock hole should only need to be opened up about .050" and it looks like there is plenty of meat there for some threads. The inner diameter of the fitting is still going to be .590 but I see a lot of 3/4" barb fittings sold for these turbo drains online. Hoping that will be fine.
The other option is hacking up the stock drain and creating a bead roll or welding a barb fitting to fit a 3/4" hose.
