Default GT30 Question

Hi people

After a couple of weeks of deciding on a possible upgrade for my 4x4 saph, I now have now decided I am going to be running a gt3071 and beings I was only looking for around the 450bhp mark, I was planning to go internal wastegate to save on alot of extra costs and hassle.

The quesiton I have is, the internal wastegate gt30's use a 5 bolt exhaust housing. I obviously have a normal 3 bolt fitting on the downpipe. I have heard you can get adapters, but how hard are they to fit?? Does it involve butchering the downpipe up and welding the adapter on??

I know reyland does a nice little conversion plate from 4 bolt gt to 3 bolt downpipe which saves welding etc, but I havent seen a 5bolt adapter about. Can any of you guys or gals who have gone this route just clear this up for me.

Thanks alot.

I purchased the 5bolt adpater to V-band then you just need to weld a v-band fitting to your downpipe then.
