Hey speedracer, I just had the same problem with my housing and flange. I had to contact the company that sold me the housing and they have that type of flange in stock. It came with stainless steel hardware too.
I'm not sure why the housings are like that, but the flange is just a bit larger than the normal 5 bolt. Contact these people and ask for a guy named Branden. techsupport@vsvperformance.com
Tell them your looking for the larger style 5 bolt flange. I think I paid about $20 for it, and they offered to pay for shipping and stuff. Good guy's to deal with.

did you look on ebay? i know they have em on there, i'm just not sure if it's the one you need, or the one you already have. email typert (look for him in the classified or on the member list), he's the one that sells flanges, or bmc racing on the classifieds page also.

hell yeah-i bought one with a internal wastegate-thinking all t3 t4 O2 housings will fit and it didn't fit-had to fabricate another downpipe-luckily i had one from a volvo that I just cut and welded together-save me a couple of hours
