Been out of the game for a while. Personally, I love v band and the ease of use that comes with it. My turbo and the turbo I will probably always have, has the standard 5 bolt T3 exhaust flange. Did anyone ever make a flange that bolts up to the turbo and then converts it to v-band??

 

Ken Peaks from Peakboost has those available.

 

Spendy on the peakboost site, any cheaper versions??

Appreciate the pic though, figured someone woulda made them by now

 

On my old turbo the bolt holes were all fubar when I got it and taking my DP off one day 2 bolts broke off in it. I got sick of that crap and bought a 2.5" - 3" reducer and V-band setup from ATP. Took it to a friends shop that is a fabricator for a living and this is what we did








Ran the turbo like that for over a year and sold it to a friend, he just made 401 whp last week on it and still running strong

 

so you bought the reducer seperate, welded it to the turbo, welded one side of the v-band to that.....

Happen to have a pic of it from dead straight on?? Im curious how it looks and to get a gauge of the width of how far it sticks out from the turbo.

The $150 peakboost adapter seems like it would be right on par cost wise as this setup you posted.

just came to me, Ive already got a spare flange, whyt he hell dont I just weld a v-band on it....... duh!!!

 

Any adapter is going to be $$$. Fabricating it yourself is the way to go!

 

Is there a cheap 3" v-band kit out there??

 

I paid like 100$ for mine, to have someone make it. It would be alot cheaper to fab up your own V-band.

 

I've got one sitting on the shelf 5 bolt to 3" vband adaptor assembly if anyone needs one w/o wait time.

 

Yea I was going to say I dont know how you thought mine cost as much as peakboost adapter plate.

I payed $15 for my transition

And $39 for my v-band clamp set.

If you already have the T3 exhaust flange order those 2 things and your set. Or you may not even need the transition with the flange, just use a short piece of 3" with the V band on the end

 

Does a 3" vaband flange not just weld right up tot he housing, or do you need the 2.5 - 3" adapter

 

^^ How did your friend weld the stainless transducer to the iron turbo housing? I hear it's a pain that's why I'm asking.

 

You know I really have no clue lol He is a good friend of my g/f's dad. I know he is a fabricator for a living and builds 4X4 rock crawling buggies from scratch in his spare time. I just gave it to him and let him do his thing.

 

had a v band welded to cast ex housing for my turbo for 30 dollars at stage6 in jax

 

They got them at Go-Autoworks.com for $89.

 

no ssshhhittttt. my thoughts about a v-band have changed dramatically lol

 

why??

 

i have a 5 bolt to 2.5" v band if your looking for 1..$50 shipped

brand new never used..was sent to me by accident
