i have a rhb5 and i had my own adaptor plate made. i took the gasket from the turbo and the gasket from a t3 manifold to my local machine shop and had him make me the flange. it is nice and all i half to do is mount the studs into the flange. plus it only cost me $25 for him to do it.

Hell it's only a rhb5. Just weld the ****** on there. Or what I did. Just weld a T3 flange over the IHI's triangular flange. That way your not stuck with an oddball flange like that. Then decide you want something bigger then just switch the turbo and not the manifold or adapter plate.
One of my first setups. The manifold is just a y7 manifold with a t3 flange welded on then two braces just incase my HF welds and the cast manifold don't like each other. That ****** worked nice. I wonder where that thing is now...

I'm pretty sure I have a ihi/hf adapter plate. It's from back when weir was making them. It's a really nice piece. Where would it be shipped to?
