really? where from?

you can build an adaptor with the triangular flange on one end and a flange to suit your turbo on the other, about 25 - 30mm long. any longer and your turbo will hit the engine mount.
if you have sufficient cast iron welding skillz you could cut and weld the manifold but an adaptor out of steel is easy.
