Ultimately what I'm trying to do right now is source some basic exhaust flange templates to build a custom manifold and turbo downpipe. I'm using a stock k04 Turbo off a Mazda CX-7 or mazdaspeed 3 and I'm trying to mount it to a car it has no business being on.
I'm having lots of trouble searching online for what I'm looking for and I'm starting to think that these style flanges are more a OEM specific style rather than a common design that I may easily be able to find and purchase online. If that's the case perhaps finding a junkyard CX-7 and butchering its original exhaust system and using those connection points for my custom project would be the best route. Idk.
Can anyone identify what these two flange styles are called ( so i can property search online for them ) and where I might be able to buy them as a bare flange DIY kind of thing. I'll post pictures of what I need, and hope someone on my trusted DSM forum will be able to help. I've recently gone on to Mazda and other generic turbo forums looking for information that I need there with absolutely no luck.
Heres a pic of the factory Mazda manifold.

the two gaskets here are to help show you what the pattern looks like.

this is the actual turbine housing that I'm needing to build exhaust parts for.
