Check to see if it's a Mercades lfange. Looks like a standard one, but when you compare them the Mercades is like 1/2" larger.

I had the same problem you have because I'm also running a mercedes turbine. Solution... dont run a gasket there :P Seriously though, it seems to be working fine for me.

Regular T3 gaskets wont work because the bolt holes dont line up. You'd either have to find one for your turbo, make your own, modify a regular gasket, or just dont use one.

the 5 bolt location... i've never used a gasket there carbon buildup ftw!!!
But no, seriously... it's never leaked w/out a gasket there.

I have the ebay 4 bolt gasket up top though between the turbo and manifold... NEVER had a problem. I've even re-used them a couple times.

I've used one of those gaskets for my HF->T3 adapter plate. It seemed to be okay...but I dont think I will trust it for my next build.
