There is a reason the market has moved away from such an ill designed flange option.....just as the market has moved away from 30 year designed turbine wheels.
You mean to tell me you cannot buy a $30 v-band flange and have someone weld up a quick downpipe from a set of 90 and straight stainless pipe?? Also, those 5 bolt flanges are prone to warping and leaking and just adds another area of failure. I am glad the market has moved away from another archaic design. It's worth the extra $1-$200 investment to not deal with that headache and lose another $3-$500 on a track day as all the bolts backed and fell the hell out (which has happened before). They are only m6 (??) studs/bolts mind you and don't take to heat cycle well and also limit proper internal wastegate design (see EFR and new garrett turbo)
I mean shoot sell your prized cobra downpipe and you may even end up on top!
