No. you're just not used to seeing the turbine housing before the v-band is welded. ONly about 10 percent of the v-band turbine housings that are ever made are actually cast as one piece. The rest are welded. That is what it looks like before it is welded on.

the part posted as the vband is the wrong one

HERE IS THE ACTUAL VBAND YOU NEED THAT WILL FIT PERFECT



http://www.atpturbo.com/Merchant2/me..._Code=ATP-FLS3






3" steel weld flange, VBand. Weld directly to T04 turbine housing with cast in groove to convert complete turbine discharge to standard 3" V-Band
