TTi uses V band for the downpipe? Does anyone know if the TTi kit uses a a V band? My downpipe has four bolt holes in it and the exhaust turbine that was included in the kit (doesn't fit the new turbo) also has 4 bolt holes. I'm kinda confused....

Basically it takes a lot more work than just switching the downpipe to a vband to get everything to work together and fit.

What turbo did you get? the best thing to do is just slap the on-center housing from the old turbo on the new turbo, but only if they are the same trim (ie P or Q trim). Other wise you could tear the turbo up.

Well the turbo I ordered is a p trim Garrett Y2K T76 with an oncenter housing, the only problem is that its a v band and the tti kit isn't, I figure I'll just make a round shaped piece of metal with holes (possibly threaded) which can expand enough to get over the turbine side of the "v" lip. Then I'll bolt the dp on to that and I figure that will hold the dp tight against the tubine.

That would be a lot easier than trying to rig something.
