I just got my 3inch Vband adpater/clamp today, and I cant figure out how to install it onto my T4...anybody have any pics? Its almost like Im missing parts....

 

If its a new turbo you might be missing the flange on the turbo itself you have to get it welded on.-pdang

does it look like this on the turbine end?

this a precision turbo at motor matrix jsut had to use the photo real quick mike.

 

My adapter sits JUST on the outside of ring on the turbo..do I weld the adapter onto the turbo? This is no problem to do, I just wnat to know WHAT to do....

 

ttt, anybody have any pics of one installed???

 

You can kind of get a picture from this kit. This is designed to adapt a vband flange to a t3 exhaust housing( available through http://www.cheapturbo.com ). What were looking at though is the flange on the adapter thats the part that usually gets welded on a t4 turbine housing for the vband. The other flange is obviously for the downpipe. Hope this helps you out man.-pdang

 

why would u need a V band anyway?

 

I believe T4 turbines only come with a v-band outlet. Plus, it's easier to attach your downpipe, and just plain cool.

 

there are some that use either a v-band or can use a 4 bolt flange also(a big round one)

 

you shouldn't have to weld it on, but I cant tell from your pic..

weldeing it on is acceptable thouhg... the greddy turbo (at least the t78 and t88) have the vband adapters welded on...

how are you going to weld steel to cast iron so it will be strong/not break off?
