Default Wierd Chrysler Exhaust Flange Fabrication, Question?

I bought 2 x Chrysler Garrett T3 turbos on ebay. One is blown, the other has no shaftplay but chipped blades on the exhaust wheel. The blown one has mint blades. I'm swapping parts on the two.

I also bought a turbo manifold, nicely made, for $50. It was a T3 flange, but the guy redrilled it out for a T25. I'm going to cut off the flange entirely.

Do you guys know any place that could CNC machine me a flange out of 3/8ths inch thick steel for the awkward-*** chrysler flange, for me to weld onto my manifold? It's a non-standard T3. Here's some pictures to help. They're from the blown turbo, so ignore the cut lines. Also, how much would it cost?





Thanks,
Richard

Lay a t3 gasket on that exhaust housing and drill a new hole. Your better off that way so later down the road when u want a diffrent T3 ur manifold dosent have the wronge flange.

if possible I would go that route (drilling) sounds like a much better of an idea

there is enough material to re-drill the hole on the turbo. as stated above that route is much better since you can change up when this turbo blows and you're not limited to chrysler flanged crap.
