Default how do i attach downpipe to gerrett housing this thing is TOO big

guys what am i supposed to do about this downpipe connection. its so big i can't find a dang vband and flange anywhere that is that big. ah dang garrett

the inside ring is 4-3/4" around and the outside is 5-3/4 so im assuming i need a 5 or 6 inch vband set

heres a pic of what im talking about

it should use a 5" vband set.
look at http://store.airflo.com/p206607.html

Yes same the flange on the garrett and S400 should be identical. NA$TY-TA (kyle) went from a GT42-76 with a T6 flange to a S88 T6 flanged turbo, which is a modded S400 borg warner. I bought this flange for an S400 project we are currently completing. Works nicely.

I also found the same exact pieces locally at a semi truck parts store for a bit cheaper. Might want to look in the local yellow pages and see if you have a local big rig place and see if they have em stocked. Best to go look in person though....take the housing with you if you can.
