Default Using stock manifold for turbo??

Okay guys I know its been done but how? make an adapter plate or what??
I am trying to fit a 4 bolt turbo on a 3 bolt flange.
I am just trying to save a few dollars on this build and just using the stock manifold would save me quite a bit.
I have a few extra truck manifolds laying around I could use. pics, links, any information would be great thanks!

flip the manifolds upside down and facing the grille, and link the two together with the turbo flange somewhere in the front. efans are obviously a must. there's a guy from ar that made a kit this way, I can't recall his name though. you will definitely want to wrap everything with header wrap.

my current kit is like this...make an adaptor from the flipped manifold to the turbo also dont forget to tie in your crossover below the turbo flange...will have to reroute your spark plug wires too or either use real good heat sleaves...
