Default Turbo adaptor

What do people think of a turbo adaptor to fit say a GT28 to the standard T3 manifold ?

That turbo in the picture isn't a proper Garrett GT28. Did that come from Ebay?

Back to the original question then...

Is that adaptor any good, or for example would it bring the turbo too close to the rad etc... ?

Thanks.

Only you know what kind of gap you've got? I'd be asking the maker of the adapter how thick it is..... not much point asking here.
