i have a factory refurbished garrett turbo with an odd exhaust flange. i've been told that i'll probably need to use a v-band to attach my downpipe to the turbo. my question is, how many of you guys have this type of setup on your cars, and do you guys have any pictures? i'm just trying to get an idea for how difficult this type of installation will be. thanks in advance.

 

v band is simple..just a little more $$ than typical set ups.

 

v-band rocks!

 

It's basically like a big exhaust clamp. Part of the downpipe will slip over the exhaust flange of the turbo and you just tighten down on the spring mounted clamp.

 

I don't see the v-band lip in that turbo.

Are you sure that's v-band? looks more like it needs some welding.

um he's asking if he needs to use a v band to connect the dp to his turbo...

 

i was thinking i'll probably have to do some welding to use this type of exhaust outlet, but what will i need, how much will it cost, and where's a good place to find these supplies?

 

Do the V-Band, you wont regret it, they rock, and also.. by the looks of things, doesnt look like u have a choice. lol
