Question Suzuki Turbo

I have recently picked up a turbo by IHI initially made for Suzuki.
The turbo identification is:
Spec #:VZ1
Family: RHB5

From the research I have done, it seems to have belonged to a suzuki, but I can not any information on it at all besides its identification.
I am looking for a flange for it, so I can mount it to my exhaust manifold, which has a T3 flange.

Diameter of the hole is 1".





Spec of the turbo.

The previous owner had tape on the turbo and it does not want to come off, but that is a different issue.
Thank you guys for the help,
BMP

It is best not to build your entire setup around one very obscure part. There are plenty of cheap t3 turbos that will fit your existing manifold.

"Well I already have it" is not a good reason.

I'm not against selling it and picking up another turbo. I was just wondering if there were any solutions a member of the forums have already come across,

There is- a t-25 or t-3 flange with a rectangle 4 bolt pattern. almost all aftermarket Miata stuff will be based around these flanges.
