How Do I Mount To This Turbo Exhaust Flange ?????
I bought one of these puppies and I can't figure out how to mount a "downpipe" to the exhaust.
I would think it would be a V-Band but there is no lip for the clamp to hold?????
It is a Garrett T04B Turbo (0 the number)

WOW no bolt holes, no flanges. Call the place you picked it up from. Maybe they have something that presses into that. IF not you have 2 options.
1 welding. But that can move the housing around.
2 bolts
that requires a machine shop, cause you will also need to mating flange bolt pattern to match.

If Im not mistaking you have to weld a v-band flange to the exhaust housing. I know I was going to buy a garret but they said I had to weld the v-band to the exhaust housing...

If you have access to a lathe, you could try to turn a thick piece of pipe that would make a press fit into the housing. You could then weld to the piece of pipe. That would be my guess, but I know there will be a bunch of expansion to deal with, I don't know how the press fit would last?
