yea, it was that 3 bolt flange was what i needed. The suck thing that i found out was that there will still only be 2.5" of space if i keep the internal wastegate. So right now, my plan is to lose the internal wastegate setup and go with external. With an external wastegate setup i will have 3.5" of space between the exhaust housing and the ac compressor. with 3.5" of space, i think i can fit a 2.5" downpipe between the space, not sure. Do yall think that 3.5" is enough space for a 2.5" downpipe or will i have to go with a 2.25" downpipe and flare it to 2.5"? I know that it will cost more money out of my pockets since i want to keep ac.

you actually have more room. you can grind down that swingvalve housing like i did. and the bend does not have to be perfectly circular where it welds. mine is slightly oval and doesn't take up much room. and it is 2.5" dp. check it out:
