That is the exhaust manifold gasket. It is exactly port-matched to the manifold itself.
The PDF is full size.
The only difference between the manifold and the gasket are the supports between the ports and the tube that feeds the air pump ports.
I'll try to do one with paper and pencil, though it is bigger than any paper I have around at the moment.

Only 2 out of 3 ports are visable in that file. I assume they are spaced exactly the same between both sides and are both the same size. They should be. The question is where are the mounting holes on that side?
How close is that turbo to the engine mount? It's got to be right up next to it.

The entire gasket is in that file. There must be something wrong with your version of Acrobat. Try scrolling down. Remember, it is full size which is about 14".

When I pull it up I only see 11 Inches of the 14 inch file. I really don't think anything is wrong with Acrobat. I have version 5 somthing.

Got most of the rest of the piping done today.
Mounted the IC:
Got the pipes from the airbox and to the throttle body along with the TurboXS BOV:
Turbo is nicely hidden away:
Now I need to do the oil supply and drain and connect the pipes to the turbo.
Then, I have to fab the bracket for the WG actuator and a bunch of support brackets for the various pipes to the body or engine and the downpipe to the transmission.
Then, I will put in some heat shields and wrap.
Then, I get to take it all out and clean, polish and re-fit.
