Default Cutting holes in log manifold?????

What do you guys use to cut the whole on the manifold to mount the elbow and adapter to the turbo?

There's got to be something I can use or purchase cheap from a tool store to make that whole.........

To cut my flange in I used an air die grinder. It was very fast. To cut in a round hole for say another elbow for an external gate I would use a hole saw at a low speed and alot of cutting oil.

A hole saw bit works great. Just be aware that, because of the curved radius of the log manifold, you need to use a slightly smaller bit than the diameter of the elbow.
