Anyone know where to find said adapter? Kyle made my 3.5" downpipe with a 3" v-band at the turbine housing for a 76/65 I have on my shelf here. I'm having thoughts of going with a larger turbine like a 68/77 which has a 3.5" v-band. Instead of cutting off my 3" v-band and welding on the 3.5", is there an adapter out there for this? Preferably one that is very short so it doesn't screw up my wastegate mounting. I've seen ones for v-band to bolt flanges but not v-band to v-band.

Or could someone make one? I asked Kyle and he hadn't gotten back to me yet.

Thanks

 

The reason I don't want to modify the downpipe just yet is that I might like the 76/65 better and go back to it and the 3" v-band.

 

None that I have seen.
If your careful you could take the 3.5 weld it to a 3" and make your own. I will move your dp back 1-1.5"

 

I would make it myself but I don't have stainless welding capabilities. I only have a crummy harbor freight mig welder. And local shops would prob charge $100 or more to make it. The 3" v-band is also a bottleneck in my DP. Might just be better to replace it with a 3.5".

 

if you ship it to me i will weld it for free!

 

just buy a 3.5 vband flange and 3" vband flange in mild steel and hit it with some high temp paint. If you get a good wled on it Im sure itll last a few years. you talking about the ebay gt45?

 

Ebay gt45 is an option yes. Heard great things on tech about it. Thoughts on how it would work on a 5.3L?

 

I may take you up on that. PM pending.
