All Garrett T3 exhaust flanges the same?
I was running a Garrett T3 .42/ .48 and I am in the process of upgrading to T3 60 trim, 60 ar comp., 48 a/r. Problem is, the 5 bolt exhaust flange from the old .42/.48 turbo dosnt fit the new .48/.60 turbo. The holes are like 1/2" too short from all the bolt locations.. My question is if i buy a new 5 bolt flange from ebay or something that says it fits all T3s and T3/T4s is it going to fit my new turbo (.48/.60) I am thinking that maybe this is a mercedes turbo which has a bigger flange??

The turbo pictured in the link is an OEM Ford 2.3 liter application with an integral wastegate. The Ford style turbine housing is the industry standard as far as flange configurations are concerned, so it's virtually guaranteed that any 5 bolt T3 exhaust flange offered for sale will work.
