Default Borg Warner s400 question.

Where's everyone buying their 5 inch 304 ss v-band flange kits from? Along with the 3 or 3.5 inch aluminum v-band flange kit for the compressor housing outlet?? Bought my turbo without either flanges/clamps and would like some input as to where the best place to buy both from for the best price!! Thanks in advance!!

racepartsolutions.com has the right v-band for the compressor outlet and for the downpipe clamp and flange for the s400. the o-ring they supply for the compressor v-band flange does not seal right, and you will have to find a thicker one

I bought from RPS as well.
Did you have a boost leak with the supplied O-ring? It seemed ok, but I haven't gotten into any boost yet.

yeah, it leaked boost, but that was on a compound twin setup on a duramax that made 55-60 psi boost. i dont know if rps fixed the thin oring issue
