Actually, MINE uses all five bolts. I specifically built it with the right kind of turn that allows all five bolts to be used. It wasn't hard to do either.
This is the first I've heard that the kit's don't use the 5th bolt. Is it just yours?
Actually, both down pipes I built used all 5 bolts.

You can't even put one bolt into the flange before you put it up to the turbo?
