The honda one- might be easy or impossible depending on how they designed it. Any other turbo is very easy. Don't worry too much about pressure drop. If the core and IN OUTs of the end tanks are large enough then it will not matter. Remember no pressure drop means the air is travelling straight through with no resistance = crap all time in intercooler = poor cooling. 1-3psi pressure drop is not an issue.

The turbo is called a t3/t4 because it is a hybrid of 2 different types. t3 is the flange design. I guess 50% of turbos use a t3 flange design so you do not have to use a t3/t4 at all. Many many aftermarket turbos are t3, ie garrett, turbonetics etc. You will not have trouble finding one to suit but yes a t3/t4 would suit well. It is an older design. Maybe a garrett gt3078r ball bearing would be best if you have the money.

I can have you one cut but I have only done a draft not actual measurements. It would probably cost $70 to cut (I'm guessing) but I would have to put a few hours into it to ensure it is correct first. + side is shipping would be $10-15.
