What's the stock turbo in a Mazdaspeed 3?

I'm trying to find it but I can't. Any help would be appreciated.

EDIT: Looks like it's a K04-2280

And once again, I can't find anything about this turbo in particular. What flanges does it use?

Thanks in advanced for any help.

It uses an oddball flange on the inlet and outlet of the turbine. I don't think it matches up to anything common.

That's because about 1 in 7 fail and blow seals. My advice... there is no OEM turbo anything from any Mazdaspeed vehicle ever made that you want except the GT2554r from a Protege.
