So basically, I should get a steel flange ? What I was going to do have a shop weld an aluminum bov flange to a steel charge pipe, but i guess i'll have to buy a steel flange. Thanks for the replies.

What kind of flange are you looking for? I have one of those Oval Greddy/Blitz flanges right here in steel. Let me know if you want it.
