all the dump pipe flanges on my turbo have a home-cut metal gasket with exhaust goo on either side of metal.
for metal, buy a sheet of galv from mitre 10 and cut with nibbler or aviation tin snips. the galv coating will burn off but wont kill you. Expect to slice at leats one finger while cutting the curves.
The h/made gasket between the face of turbo and dump pipe has lasted for >6 months now.
(btw: the goo is the silica based stuff that cures with heat and irritates your skin when raw it so use disposable vinyl gloves as latex will tear too easily)
but if the flange is supposed to have a thick, bulky gasket then you might want to wait or search futher...
