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.

Ok I wasn't sure.  I never really saw much of ko3s although I do have one from a tdi in my basement

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...

Or you could buy the gasket from some place like Autohausaz the just trace and cut you own.
