Here's the story:
I ordered a T3 flange from jgstools.com Thursday, December 18th. STILL haven't gotten it even though it was supposed to be shipped out via USPS priority mail. So I call today and the idiot secretary informs me that they were out of stock all along, and never bothered telling me, the person who's been patiently waiting that they didn't have any in their possession. She goes on to say that I wont be able to get them until mid-next week (which will probably be more like the end of next week). This pisses me off a lot because I'm on vacation this week and was all set to have my downpipe re-made. Man, I'm really starting to get pissed off with how horribly these companies deal with customers.
Does anyone know of places that sell the THREE BOLT T3 outlet flanges that will be welded to a downpipe? Ebay has nothin'. That way I could get the flange shipped out quick so I could get my exhaust on this weekend...
The flange that I'm talkin about can be seen here...

It's the "TK05" one, that's 3-holed and costs $15.29.
Help me out guys!
T3 outlet flange for downpipe--Where to get it?!?

Nahh, I got some ditzy (probably blonde, lol) secretary--name was either rebecca or kimberly. Not very nice, nor helpful.
I still think it's ridiculous that they weren't planning on telling me, even 10 days after I ordered a part, that it wasn't in stock--they should give me free overnight shipping for making me wait. But of course they don't--that'd be giving the customer what he deserves....

Cheap turbo:

Not expensive and they seem like cool dudes. I talked to them when trying to match the 5 bolt flange to my turbo (early Chrysler T3) and although it didn't match, they were really cool about breaking down the fitment issues. I would recommend them just for that.
Also, are you sure its 3 bolt. I've never seen a T3 3-bolt turbine discharge flange to this day and the JGS site won't pull up (appears to be down)

Yes, I'm POSITIVE it's three bolt. Mine has the same standard 5 bolt pattern for the outlet--but on top of that is bolted like a separate piece that has a 2.5" outlet with 3 bolts...i'd take a picture but I'm too lazy. It appears that you could run it with or without this three bolt piece-I need to run this three bolt piece, otherwise I wouldn't be able to fit a dp in there...
Been there, done that 
I don't like that place--they seem like a very cynical and uncompromising company.
I already got all the 2.5" 2 bolt flanges that I needed for only $7.50 a piece at NAPA (sooo much better than advance or autozone). And I'm still getting the 3 bolt flange that I need from JGS--whenever they decide to make it. I was just trying to see if I could find a place that sells the same flange (roadracengineering doesn't have what I need) so I could get it from them and cancel the order from JGS--looks like JGS has that flange development monopolized.
