Flange is the only issue you will have.

^^ Wish that was the case. You'll be seing plenty of builds with DSM turbos. First of all TD05H designation is generic used to name the turbine wheel size. If you have atleast the 16g or higher variant then you got a decent size turbo. If you're able to do your own fab work then cost may be minimal if not then the work involved custom turbo manifold with the proper flange and location. Next you need to custom make your turbo elbow or modify existing aftermarket ones. lastly you will need the downpipe to match your elbow. If this the route you take GL I'd really like to see that done. As for my setup I've the the FP TD06SL2-20G and Greddy T517z which has the SR housings but turbo CHRA is Mitsu..

you can look at most turbos and detect their flange type...take a look at all the common flanges, ( t2, t3, t4, twin scroll ect ) and you'll know right away what flange you have.

if you plan on buying a mig welder and making a manifold you can pull it all off.

people do it everyday all around the world. ( check out C's garage latest blog post, )

Well I assumed he understood that, this is a KA-T which means most of everything will be custom.

Really, it's just not worth the hassle though.

^^ Completely agree with you on the hassle when using Mitsu based flanged turbos. I've done several KA-T setup already and most bottom mount configuration require none to less fab work needed if using a regular garrett flange turbos. I still like Mitsu turbo over any BB type but that would be another discussion.
