Looks like u got the wrong exhaust housing on your turbo. The hole isnt' suppose to be there if i'm correct.

thats a bigass exhaust side on your turbo...looks like someone fucked up somewhere (not you) and marked the wrong parts before sale.

There are two styles of the 5 bolt housing, as you found out.

If you can't get a different housing I'll trade you a standard Garrett 5 bolt .63 housing for that bioch.

this is what i recieved from the seller..
"The regular turbo that you are talking are a ford type.
The one you got has a thicker more expensive housing that do not crack like the ford type."

now does anyone carry this flange?

I think thats the stock housing off a nissan or something.. I would send the turbo back.. you not gonna find a flange for it and if you get one made you still have to build your own downpipe..

if im not mistaken, you probly bought this off of ebay.
this housing is common to the Isuzu NPR "box/delivery" trucks.
i would also suggest that you will have a tough time finding a flange for that.
hope this helps

On their web site they have flanges all over the place. I would ask them for a flange or to return the turbo for another one that would fit your downpipe.

this man is right your turbo exhaust housning is for internal wastgate and the downpipe flange is for a external wastegate housing. you may have forgotten to mention what type external or internal when ordering your turbo or downpipe. you see that extra lil hole that is for the internal wastegate.

I thought that all turbo's have that and you either block it with the downpipe or you can put on an internal wastegate?
