By the time you fit an adapter to the standard manifold, you run out of room to get the oil return line back into the block - been there done that. I prefer to custom make a complete new maniofld for several reasons: You can 'place the turbo anywhere you want with it, you avoid the heat cracked standard manifold issues, and you can build it to do what ever you want. Alternatively, you can also cut off the old CT20 base plate, heat the manifold up and weld on a new flange, but this brings problems mentioned above, along with the joy of trying to find a competent welder for the cast iron to mild steel flange too.
