I have one, although it's still attached to my old turbine housing.
You could always try something like this-
eBay Motors: T3 5-Bolt to 3" V-Band Conversion Adapter for INT W/G (item 250361803655 end time Feb-01-09 13:19:18 PST)
But, the turbine housing does not have quite the same 5-bolt pattern as that one, the very bottom left "ear" is oriented differently but the rest of the bolts would go in fine and that'd be enough to hold it.
You'd just have to fab up a downpipe, but that right there is a lot cheaper than ATS's kit.

Yea that looks pretty good. That piece looks like steel. Wouldn't be hard to relocate that other ear. Thx. that would be a whole lot less work.
What are the factory turbos? T3 or what

The factory turbo is a T04B cold side, T3 Stage III hot side.
Hell if I had known about those flanges when I got my truck, I might have tried that route and built my own downpipe instead of spending $550 on the kit. Ah well
And yeah that flange is carbon steel, as noted on the auction :P
You'll just need to pick up a 3" V-band clamp and 3" V-band flange.
