Bought this, cuz my Neukin ramhorn bought used (for a DC) places the wastegate where it hits core support. No elbow/extension on mani...maybe it worked on DC, but I have an EG, didn't want to beat my core support.

Like this..
Do I just clamp it to mani with no fire ring/sealing ring in the vband clamp? Cuz I cant fit a fire ring into the grooves since they're the same shallow grooves. The flange on the elbow is just like the outlet flange on mani...the rings I have all have the wider od, which sits in the flange..with a little extending, smaller od lip like this

only the wider od would fit into both flanges...is there such a flange/ring made? Inlet/outlet flanges all have two od's..it would have to be just a flat ring with the wider portion..no protruding smaller section
The site says for inlet side..so what to do?

Hope u guys have seen this before..ready to get my car going again, damn.
Seems like the sealing ring locates the parts inside the clamp? Is it common to not use a ring?
New to vbands..sorry
Damnit..calling ATP in the morn.
