First of all, I'm assuming you have an external wastegate to use. If not, that setup would be a bad idea.
If you do, then the gasket will theoretically work. I have this though, so my flange and gasket are slightly different:

The weird shaped flange is for turbos that have internal wastegates, to block off the internal wastegate when you have an external instead. You should really get the right flange for the turbo and downpipe. They should match.
Can we get a pic of what your turbo looks like?

So what kind of flange did it have? Can we get a pic? In either case, you're best bet is making sure the downpipe has the same flange and gasket matches them.
