Default I have a Tial 50mm BOV and a 2.5" flange for plumbing, need 3"

I have 3" intercooler plumbing, but the BOV flange that is cut to the angle of the intercooler piping appears to be for a 2.5" pipe. I haven't had any luck googling for a flange that has the proper contour for a 3" pipe. Most of what I've found doesn't even list the size pipe it's intended for. I know a lot of people are running 3" plumbing here, so I figure someone ran into this before.

Grind it most of the way. Then wrap some sandpaper around a straight section of 3" that you have laying around and sand it to fit like a glove. That's what we do, works great.
