T3 downpipe
 
This is the last piece i need to finish my setup and i cannot for the life of me find it... I need a flange for a internal wastegated t3.. i bought one off ebay and it came today and was to small.. can someone point me in the right direction?

you might not have the standard 5 bolt t3.
Could be a Mercedes one.
Can you measure the bolt holes?

There are 2 main 5-bolt T3 flanges that look exactly the same but one is smaller. I forget if the Ford T3 is the smaller or larger one. What type of T3 do you have?

you may have a fuckey ass dp flange like me. if the 5 bolt one you got was too small then chances are you have the amg/mercedes style dp flange i got mine from kteller.

I should have stated this... I am running an internal wastegate... its 3 bolt triangle. not 5 bolt.. thats where i am having the problem, i find 5 bolts for external wastegates all over but i cant find a flange from the internal wastegate.

So you have a wastegate housing bolted on the turbo.
That has a 3 bolt exhaust pattern.
Is it flat or raised?
What is the hole diameter and the bolt diameter?
Example 2.0" hole and 3.0" bolt pattern.

Three bolt I think is the volvo style. Measure the distances on the bolt pattern.

I went to the local exhaust shop and looked through all the 3 bolt flanges. I found one that fit mine like that. It wasn't exact but fit and sealed with a gasket.

Well if you take your O2 housing off it will be a 5 bolt. They also make a 3 bolt also to bolt to that stock housing like this
