there would be a port to bypass the turbine on the hot side...the picture below is a t3/t4 with the capability for an internal wastegate...
this is the kit required to actually use it, otherwise you would just block it off with a flange and run an external wastegate...

How about the bolt pattern to this GT SPEC EXHAUST TURBO MANIFOLD 03 04 05 06 LANCER EVO8 RS EVO9 MR CT9A manifold, the bottom appears the same as mine...how about the top? What turbo flanges will fit this?

Yep that's what I anticipated. I think I did it for the benefit of those that didn't know and at the same time wanted to learn something that I didn't know if I didn't already know??? Anyhow, I'm still in the market to buy Michaels manifold and charge piping, and Brent is going to modify his rebuilt turbocharger, which I think he said was a Garrett, with an internal wastegate and sell me that. I will still be missing the downpipe but that shouldn't be too much of a problem having that locally fabricated. The charge pipe coming off the turbo cool side to the intercooler is going to be tight but doable, so I'm told. The rest of it should fit like the manual transmission.
Money is the biggest issue at this time since I've spent nearly all of my nest egg after the fall of the turbokits project. For instance, I had to replace my front lip after having it ripped off after a hard rain, with one of RRM's carbon fiber pieces, which I've been waiting for for the last 9 weeks. I'm being told it's finally going to arrive if it hasn't already today. along with a transmission cooler which I purchased at a comp price for having to wait so long for the lip. AND, after all that, I'm going to be getting my ECU back from Michael and finally going to be able to take care of the fuel management steps that I've been waiting so patiently to do as well. Oh, I forgot to mention that I'm going in for surgery on Friday 12 to have a herniated disc removed away from pushing into my spinal cord! Yep, I'm laying right here in my wife's Lexus RX 350, medicated, wiith a numb and tingling right arm, and I still have 7 days to go for this procedure to be done, so pray for my comfort from now until then. If you don't hear from me after the 12th well, then, you know what happened. I think I'll officially will my car to Brent since he knows what needs to be done...........NOT!
Cheers!

with an internal wastegate the downpipe is easy to fabricate...i haven't seen an automatic RA in person, but i could tell by looking at it if the upper charge pipe would fit...it depends on whether theres enough room to clear between the valve body cover. after that everything would be roughly the same. take your time with the money...and keep doing your research...

Hey Truth. Just FYI, I didnt know if you knew this yet or not but you will have to replace and relocate your radiator reservoir so that you can get your UICP to fit in the automatic. The tranny is so big it leaves no room to snake piping around the stock one. Blaire had to do this as well.
My suggestion. Do a battery relocate or mini battery mod and put a small reservoir where the battery currently sits. Its right next to where the stock one is and will free up the space you need for the turbo piping.
If you were already aware of this then just disregard.

Im getting ready to do it. I got a mini battery that Im going to be relocating to my trunk soon. Then I'll be working on relocating that reservoir so that I can put a more efficient Intake on mine.
But yea definitely, I will get you some pictures so you can see what could be done.
