Default Homemade DIY Turbo Fitting

Well I couldn't afford turbo adapter fitting so a buddy of mine ended up fabricating one. He used a piece of metal plate and then welded the plug on the top with a hole tapped in it already. Then he used a drill to make the holes for the screws.

I used a dremel to cut the sides and sanded the edges. Then the product was done.

Enjoy:
