Default adapting turbo flange to header???

Hey, I was wondering if i could somehow get a machine shop/welding shop to modify my 4-1 tube header into a suitable manifold. Can they heat up and bend the steel to bring them together sooner? I know they would have to cut them a bit and then weld the flange to a new collector. Thanks for any help. Great site by the way!!!

That header will not withstand the heat from a turbo and will crack. Your better off selling it, than getting an actual turbo manifold.

I can't see why the header would crack but the stock cast manifold with adapter plate wouldn't? I'll take your word for it but that just seems funny.

Thats cause the stock cast manifold is made of cast iron. Your all motor header is made of 16 gauge steel. You comparing two different materials.
