This cant be the right v-band

I bought this 5 inch v-band assembly from raceparts solutions. The v-band flange is atleast 1/4 inch bigger all the way around than the turbo flange. The turbo flange measures just a hair over 5 inches, the flange that came with the v-band assembly measures just under 6 inches.

Just wondering if I recieved the wrong part or if I ordered the wrong one. Any information would be appreciated.

looks like you bought a vband assembly. You need the correct flange for the outlet. What turbo do you have?
