V-Band leak
I have an exhaust leak from were my turbo headers go from vband to the adapters were the turbo bolts to the adapter. sounds confusing but i started to hear an exhaust leak from the begining and now it is getting worse. It actually took me a while just to find it becouse i never figured it could be the v band. I have tried tighting it a couple times with no success. Anyone else have any problems like this with v bands or any suggestions on how to remedy this?
