Were can I get one or can I make one?? Here is the picture of the turbo it will connect to. As you can see it has a 4 hole pattern . I seen some on Ebay but they are not the right size diameter. They are to big. This only has a 2" diameter .

if your using a cast DP you don't really need a gasket.

Well im having the flange made and then I was going to get the muffler shop weld the pipe. So I guess I will not be using a cast DP.

For sealing turbo/manifold/wastegate exhaust connections, apply and let sit for 1 hr then warm engine to set. Will not burn out, cleans up with water, black in color. 3 oz tube, perfect of turbos without gaskets available.

One tube will do several turbo sets!

11.99 USD

FWIW, I bought a whole can of stove/fireplace cement from Lowe's Home Improvement the other day for about $4.00. It's good up to 2100* F and I just made a 850mi (total) trip over the weekend with no issues. The seal is still good, and let me tell you, there were many many many miles of high speeds/heat off the turbo. (Drove from about 30 mi. North of Indianapolis to Knoxville, TN in 5hrs, 40mins and stopped 3 times for restroom)
