That's what I used with my HKS T-45S. It's steel(aluminum would melt with our hot exhaust temps). |
OK,But isn't the housing aluminum??If its steel where the V-Band sits then I'll weld it at the shop I work for.Or get a millright to do it. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

Thanks Luis |
The compressor housing is Aluminum. The exhaust housing is cast Iron.
The v-band is gasketless. It does tend to leak initially, but eventually the two flanges warp together. If you take off the front pipe, put some grease inside the clamp. It will burn off, but it makes installation easier. |

It's used to hold two pipes together without using flanges and bolts. http://www.burnsstainless.com, http://www.turbonetics.com, and http://www.turboneticsinc.com also sell them. |
