new t-70 but no v-band Just got my new t-70 today and the 3" V-band outlet isn't on it. Do I have to weld one? Who sells the flanges? and how much does it cost?. My old exhaust housing will work if they both used p-trim wheels correct? The old housing only used 4 bolts to hold the turbine side on. The new one uses 6, does this matter?

The same thing happened to me. I ordered the v-band clamp from burns stainless (burnsstainless.com) and had a local metal and welding shop put it on. The welder had to put on a small section of pipe in order to do it. I'v only got this one picture of it, sorry it doesn't really show it that well, but you can kind of see the welds...

I've got a buddy at a full on machine shop, he'll weld it on. But it was wierd the place I bought the turbo from told me that, the manufacturer, had put the wrong housing on the turbo. He said he'd sent it back and get the correct one. But I was too impaitient. Oj well my vacation starts tommorow and I'll drop it off and a few hundred $ later it'll be done

Welding cast iron is really not that bad, but aren’t turbine housings actually some funky steel alloy (not that it would be much harder to weld)?
That not withstanding I’ve seen those housings before where you have a round area, a grove and another round area but no real flange, bolt on or v-band and have always wondered what the original intention was for attaching an exhaust to it.
