Problem finding a exhaust manifold with T3 fllange, With wastegate flange Options

[Iceman22]

Hello.
My friend has bought a garrett turbo kit for his celica st205.
The turbo will have a external wastegate (42mm), now we got all the parts we need, including a T3 downpipe.

BUT, we are struggling with the exhaust manifold. We can't find any manifolds with T3 flange that fits this engine, also we need to have a hole for the wastegate.
We are desperately needing one but we can't find one, so now we are planning to use a after market manifold with CT20B flange. It can perhaps be used if we cut the flange, and make a T3 flange and weld it on the manifold, plus we need to drill a hole on it for the wastegate.
The problem is that it is much hard work and easier said than done.

So, I'm wondering if anyone know where I can get this T3 manifold for a reasonable price ? Is it possible ? I have found some on eBay but they are for the 2nd gen engine, but they are also without the hole for the wastegate.

What should we do ??

Yeah I was too cheap to go the custom way.

I thought the wastegate port was weird to, but it's to clear the alternator.

I was going to use an adaptor on the factory manifold but was worried the oil drain would get almost horizontal.

I was going to brace the turbo regardless.

Will let you all know how it goes.
