frozenboost.com has vbands for 10 bucks and then flanges for 30 a set, all looks solid from stainless steel, not aluminum ones.

cheap vbands are cheap for a reason. TRUST ME. especially if you are trying to seal boost in, you will want a nicely machined O-RINGED v-band. EXPENSIVE, but well worth it. im speaking from experience on both ends of the spectrum. im running vibrant right now. do it right or don't do it at all.

you need to weld the pipe the the flanges obviously. trust me, those cheap v-bands are shitty. both the flanges and the clamp. flanges don't mate nice and the clamp is weak.
there are actually some exotic boost hard clamps out there. i forgot what they are called, but they are big money for the big boys. they clamp itself is purple.

^^^ your not serious right? Welding stainless to aluminum? What filler would you use? twist a stainless and an aluminum filler rod together? I really dont think its possible. I have welded carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminum, inconel and titanium, and have never seen stainless and aluminum welded together. The only way I have ever seen those two metals welded together is with whats called explosion welding. Get aluminum flanges and be done with it. I dont know if they sell them to the public, but the place where I used to weld all of the exotic metals made v band clamps in all of those materials but carbon. They were for aeropace, but that doesn't matter. Eaton Aeroquip is the name of the company. Yes its the same company that makes Eaton superchargers.
