thats what I've been told also, I bought 4 them all too small, I resell them. forcedfab was helping me but I sent them payment, and they did not claim it or reply to my emails after the deal so I'm backed up. I guess I will have to try and make one out of armored steel,when I'm in Iraq. I dont know if it will weld to regular steel.

I live on ebay man, but most of the sellers don't reply to questions, and I bought 4 that was not the correct size already....its not like I'm not searching.

ahh... I had to deal with this at one time as well.. I call it the bitch 5 bolt, because nobody sells the flange. It looks exactly like the normal 5 bolt (same shape) but just a tad bit bigger. They say its on the fords, but thats not true because I have used several tbird turbos with the normal 5 bolt just fine. Me and beau bought these t3/t4 turbos on ebay several years ago that came with this goofy 5 bolt pattern, we ended up making 3 flanges for it.

I may still have one around, I'll have to look for it. More than likly you are just going to have to get one made.

yeah, thanks for the help, I think I got something going, I made a deal with someone that has one on here, he said he took my measurements they match to his, so hope its right, or else I'll be knocking on your doors again.
