Can someone help explain to me how to use this thing. What do I need to do in order to get it to connect the downpipe and turbo together? Cutting...welding?
i forget but your turbo has a vband flange on it right now ? if it does you just need to make a downpipe and weld the vband on it in the correct location
Well I don't have a pic of the V- band, but just looking at it i'm assuming there is going to be an issue of exhaust leakage. Heres a pic of the turbo and another of the downpipe.
With the V-Band, when you first put it on, you'll need to fill the clamp up with Grease and then tighten it down. At first, you will have an exhaust leak until the V-Band warps to the turbo.
Mine had no exhaust leak at first, then the grease burned off and I had a slight exhaust leak. It took about a week and the two ends expanded/contracted to each other and now...no exhaust leak.
