As for the exhaust outlet flange, does your turbo have provisions for a V-band? If so, go with that, they work well and they're easy to deal with.

what do you want for the pump?

yes its v-band already and so is the down pipe i have so it's all good there. so you think i will need a pump then i geuss it would be a good safty feature good for climbing for sure i guess.

thanks everybody for your imputs keep'em coming. i wanted a flush mount tool box anyway so i figured what the hel put the turbo in there and i won't have to worry about sucking gutters
