Default Are all T3 turbo Flanges the same.

Are they all the same size? I ordered a T3 turbo flange(5 bolt) for my turbo.I got it yesterday but it is too small to fit my turbo..I was wondering if the 5 bolt T3 flanges are different OR if my turbo,for being a T3 Super 60 has a bigger flange?

Pics are worth more than a thousand words.
Turbo w/o the flange


Turbo WITH the flange


The center opening lines up perfectly with the turbo as well as the 2 bottom screw holes but everything else doesnt.

You need a Mercedes/Ford style garret 5 bolt flange.

<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by RenoRacing &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote"> Ford is the traditional turbonetics style 5 bolt. Mitsubishi is the weird 14b diamond shaped one with two holes usually. and mercedes is similar to the traditional turbonetics except enlarged by about 3/4" all around and between every bolt spacing.

Good question! I just about bought a flange without knowing there are more than one size...

I am using a Garrett T3 60 trim that I bought from down2turbo off eBay, I'm assuming I also will need a Mercedes style flange...
