What downpipe flange is this?
#4
Looks kind of like the old cosworth t3 output flanges.
Design is arguably better than a 'standard' t25 as the wastegate outlet angle is better. You'll essentially use a 3 bolt 'floating' flange that will sit over the end of a swaged out 'socket' type joint on the downpipe inlet. Bolting it down will compress it for a leak free seal without a gasket. You can get the 'socket' from mandrel-bends.com. Check their 'socket joint' section. You could probably also get away with a transition cone, but I'm not positive.

The first 2 pictures you took were with the manifold off the car correct? Hence why I said it is not attached to a miata. If it was bolted on you could not get that picture of the rear flange. No room to get a camera between firewall and turbo and get a perfect picture.

Oh i see. Then I misunderstood you
No it is not fitted yet because I just bought it 1 week ago, thats why I signed for this forum to get some good advice, tips and tricks. This is my first turbo build, so its great with a forum like this, have already learned a lot just by reading around the different threads.
