Re: downpipe for this turbo?
So this is warping my brain. The flange has obviously been altered or something; notice the double "ear" on the left side of the first picture. It looks like it is a standard T3 flange, but someone has altered it to partially match up to a T25/T28 flange. So it looks like a backyard hybrid of a T3 and T25 flange.
Given the lack of obvious brand markings of any type (in the pictures at least), it's probably a Chinese fake and may or may not actually be worth using. You could probably turn that back into a T3 flange, or just make a new flange for it for the downpipe
Interesting puzzle, but may not be worth messing with.

Yeah, I think it's most likely cheap garbage then. A TD03 is a Mitsubishi turbo, but there aren't any brand markings on it, so it's not made by anyone who wants to be identified. There isn't even a name plate or name casting on it, which is really suspicious. That, along with the strange flange, tells me you should probably get a different/better/name-brand/common turbo.
