Default Combining V-band Clamps?

Alright so my turbo outlet is 2.25 inches and and i was 3 inch turbo back. Since i need one side/flange 2.25 and the other 3, would I be able to buy a full 2.25" v band system and a full 3" v band system and switch the flanges so one system has a 2.25 and a 3? Because I cannot find a v-band adapter kit that includes both 2.25 and 3. Thanks guys for the help

I think what you should do is get one 2.25 flange to go to your turbo with clamp and then buy a 2.25 to 3.0 transition and weld it all toghether.

The thing is, my water pump is 4.5 inches away from the turbo outlet so i need the bend to get going as close as possible to the outlet. I don't have any room to put a transition/reducer.

Ok I see Maybe you could have a custom piece made . Like a large washer really .
2.25 inside diameter with 3.0 inch outer diameter . and that would allow you to weld your 2.25 v-band to the washer and 3 inch tube to the outside . not Ideal but would work .
