    Gen3's are slightly larger, but only a wee bit.

    Failing that you can get a HKS manifold, not sure what flange that has.
    Or you could get a Y-pipe made for the stock manifold, and get a flange of your choice put on.
    Or you could get a custom manifold with the flange of your choice.

    I have heard of a ultra rare blitz turbo kit that looks almost factory, But apart from that it will have to be a custom job. The HKS single turbo manifolds are floating around here and there (I use to have one) But there will still have to be modifications to exhaust, intake oil and water lines. I have a td04 twin turbo 'kit' on my engine. Sure the turbos bolted up ok but I needed to make the above changes to my intake and oil/water system. You will probably find most of the turbo 'kits' advertised around will not be 100% complete, always missing plumbing, oil lines etc. so its a bit of hassle. My car is about 95% finished but until I get it on the road and see if there is any real improvement, I am still wondering if it was all worth the trouble as the stockers made 170rwkw!

    Hehe, your car is an exception to the rule, not many make that sorta power Most are a good 15rwkw off that.
