Guess you Forced Induction guys could help me with this:

What exactly is a V-Band Downpipe?
Ive installed a kit and it have 4 or 5 bolts onto the t3/t4.

Anybody help me? Pictures?
Thanks!

 

a V band is kinda like a clamp set up rather than bolting the dp onto the turbo.

here is a picture of a vband 5bolt conversion


and here is a Vband already welded to the turbo to give you an idea

 

I know what they are.. but for everyone else all they got is red X's

It's a just a downpipe that uses the v-band instead of a 4 or 5 bolt. There are converions out there that bolts a v-band to a standard 4 or 5 bolt.

 

u need two things, the clamp in the middle and the weld on flange. Its easier to take off the downpipe if u ever have to with the vband setup.
