Adapter Plate
Well I'm getting closer to gather all my components but its time to create an adapter plate. Where did you guys go to(machine shop)? What was the material (some steel alloy)? What where the dimensions and cost for the adapter plate? Thanx for all info.

Re:Adapter Plate
I went to a machine shop(+$200) for one of mine and the other I bought from Randy and Gary($70).
Talk to them to see if they have any or will be making more. He was great to deal with: http://www.gamesbbs.com/~turbosi/twinturbo.html

The machine shop said they could not make a plate, only a tube would work. I wasn't expecting to pay that much either but the work was decent for what they did. They also leveled off all the surfaces. You probably have seen this before:

Re:Adapter Plate
I paid $50 (he only wanted $40, but I gave him an extra $10 for being kick *** and getting it to me the next day) for my adapter plate at a local machine shop. The cat made it out of cold rolled steel. It's a beautiful plate. I'll post pictures of it tonight.
He even said he would port match it for me when I had time to leave it with him for a bit.
I took the two gaskets (turbo and HF manifold) and the turbo, and the manifold to him, showed him how it needed to go together, and what Jeff had said in the old "Adapter Plate" section of the site, and he whipped it up.
Try a SMALL machine shop. Just a few guys.. It's worth it to "Get to know" them. Get them interested in what you're doing.. BIIIIG savings. John, the guy who did mine, wants me to bring my car back when I'm done so he can see what his work helped accomplish.
