Any ideas or part numbers will be greatly appreciated

You need an OE gasket for a K04 not a K03.... K03 and K04 gaskets are different

The last picture Is from the k04 engine and still does not fit

Have you tried turning the gasket around? they only fit one way...

Not sure what to suggest then... the franken K04 mani and F23 is a std K04 fitment... an OE K04 gasket should fit fine... assuming this gasket doesn't fit the turbo either then you either have a K03 gasket or you have the gasket the wrong orientation or upside down... I can't remember the actual orientation off the top of my head but I think you have it upside down too.. try turning it the other way up and rotate it trying the three different positions... these gaskets really only fit the one way and can be a ****** to get in the right position...
