Default STS Question

My exhaust is 3inches and the pipe from the turbo is only 2.5inches, how should I connect the two? if I slide the 3 inch pipe over the other the weld will look sloppy because there is to much of a gap. Is there any temp. way to connect the two so I can drive the vehicle to the exhaust shop and have them deal with it?

Take the pipe ( the one the turbo mounts on) and have the exhaust shop expand it.
I have done this many times and it will take alot of expansion.
Make sure to keep anything from getting in the turbo
