240racer is an unknown quantity at this point
you will just have to see if you can clock the turbo or not. My friend who drives supras and celicas with this turbo did not think it was a good idea to try and clock the turbo. The OEM turbos aren't as good at adjustability as a aftermarket one. if you look at the turbo on your car, you will notice that if you point the exhaust flange at the engine, the exhaust exit is pointed towards the front of the car. remember, the oil drain has to be on the bottom for it to work properly. that's the real pain, it isn't the way the inlets and outlets point, it's making the oil drain on the bottom while having the exhaust point in a good direction (towards the back) I don't think you will be able to use a regular manifold at all, even with an adapter. If you can clock it, then you might be able to, but I didn't even try since I was welding my own manifold anyway, it seemed easier to weld a odd looking manifold then possibly wreck the turbo trying to clock it and welding a regular looking manifold.
