search "K03" not just K3...

idk where you would find them tho, either..
92 Jetta GLI - Black, 1.6D w/ GT2056V turbo..
86 GTI - 4 Door, Med Twilight Gray, Tow Machine..
86 Audi Coupe GT - Tornado Red, All Stock.. WRECKED.
89 Toyota 4Runner - Dark Grey Metallic, LIFTED!

Turbo: exhaust gasses go into the turbocharger and spin it, witchcraft happens and you go faster.

IDK for sure but I think the chrystler and ford 5 bolt flanges let you have some options.

for vw t3, i'd try the mercedes one first, since their turbos were very similar to ours, for vw k24 i'd get that 4 bolt t3 flange

Yeah, I was just thinking he was talking about the K03, which I thought has that weird 5 hole thing.

Why does it need to be that shape? Why not just a rectangle thats big enough to cover the whole exhaust side and drill where you need to for bolts? It wont be pretty but it would work...
