like the topic says. i got ahold of 6 T3 flanges(i really only wanted 2, but they shipped me 6 for some reason), and my turbo manifold was made by a french guy that didnt understand what 'move the turbo outwards 1 inch' meant. i want to built this adapter that moves the turbo outwards from my block about 1 inch so i can run a T4 compressor housing. im not sure how thick the metal for the adapter piece im planning on making should be, so does anyone know how thick schedule 40 piping is as thats a common size for manifolds?

interesting... the metal i need to use needs to be 3/16 thick atleast, good thing i can do 2 passes, one on the inside and one on the outside.

3/16" is .1875"

I assume your meaning Stainless steal tubing since cast iron is not the weldable.
