I got a sidemount turbo manifold for a s13 sr20det. The flange that attaches to the turbo is a mitsubishi flange. Do all mitsubishi turbos come with the same mounting flange? If so which one would be godd for around 350hp with minimal lag.

Not sure if they all have the same flange but maybe go with 18G? I have a Greddy T517Z which is about the size of an 18G and Im expecting around 350hp. It pulls real good and I hit about 20psi around 3700rpm. Im happy so far.

If you are talking about where the turbo mounts to the manifold (exhaust side) some are different. For instance, mine has a 3 bolt triangle flange but I have seen 4 bolt flanges also. I have a td05-18g on my CA18 and have been told it should get me into the 270-280whp on 18psi easy. So an 18g would probably be a pretty good turbo for you.

This is what I was wondering since my manifold has a 4 bolt flange that connects to the turbo. So are there particular model #'s that I should be looking for that automaticalyy come with this type of flange?

Im not 100% sure how they have it sorted out, but as far as I can tell most of the greddy/mitsu aftermarket turbo kits come with the 3 bolt flange. Not including the dsm kits I suppose. IIRC my friends 300zx has the 3 bolt as well. Honestly I have no clue why some are 3 bolt and some are 4 maybe they just wanted to be different.
