Where To Find Some Subaru Related Turbo Flanges...

So I tried searching around the forum with no luck... I was wondering if anyone knows of a place that might sell up-pipe and down-pipe turbo flanges? Preferably in 304SS... I wanted to make a more efficient up pipe for my VF11 or TD04 but wouldn't want to have to reuse the mild steel original flanges if I'm going to use 304stainless. Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks in advance.

Why do you need it stainless steal? If you weld it, it's still going to rust.

If I TIG weld it nicely with some stainless filler.... It most certainly should NOT rust

Give it some years. It will rust. Nothing last forever. Pi even ended

Just a thought, but you can get a SS up-pipe by itself fairly cheap, any turbo Subaru up-pipe will fit... Ebay stuff, again, go for the no-name el-cheapo, but they're fairly good metal and really nicely welded.
I actually have one sitting around somewhere, if I can dig it out, I'll let you know, I completely forgot I had it.

Thats good to know... I might consider that, I'll have a look around... The truth is, I'm new to fabrication so I'm still kinda learning... Right now I'm obsessed with welding anything that can potentially save SOME money or just stuff that I know i can do better then what is available... Not to mention if i make my own up-pipe, I'll change the angle of the turbo slightly to make for better FMIC plumbing and cold air intake and so on... But if you wouldn't mind snapping a few pics perhaps of the up-pipe you got kickin around... Do you know what the Inside Diameter of the flange on it is? Thanks in advance

Just like this one... I think it was about $50 shipped...
Not sure of the pipe diameter, I would think about 2" or 2-1/8"
