Is it the downpipe itself that has the 5 bolt flange on it? Or is there a middle piece the downpipe clamps/welds to?

The downpipe will have a flange that bolts up to the turbo and then a flange on the other end that bolts to your exhaust.

Yup.

Question: what type of turbo manifold will you be using? And will you be running A/C with this particular setup? That will determine the direction your downpipe will be fabbed & mounted.

Its what i believe to be a mini-ram, and negative on ac. Hopefully my pic shows up, im only getting a red X box when i try to see the pic on here, but my browser has been giving me problems. Its one of the SSautocrome junk ones. A friend of mine wanted to go turbo cheap, and he wants me to do the install so I was like ok but I warn you lol.

good luck with that manifold dude. dont do it. spend an extra 40$ and get a cast manifold.

i bought one of those a while back and it kept literally blowing apart.

started here... and had it rewelded. then blew apart in a different spot. eventually i just threw it away after about 800 miles. ive found that almost ALL ebay metal parts are ****. they're cheap, weak stainless.

i then picked up some stainless steel wastegate elbows, and both flanges broke off the elbow within 150 miles.these:
