Default TC76 3" V-band????

I have a TC76 with the 3" exhaust outlet. I bought a standard 3" v-band and the flanges are not the same.

The Turbonetics v-bands are right at $70 with the flanges!!, anyone know of a standard v-band ($30ish) that will work for me??

I still need to figure this out. Here are some pictures to explain what im talking about.

Here is the flange that I have, you can see it is narrower and the angled part of it is long then the turbo's flange.




Here is the problem, they wont allow the clamp to go over them since they are not the same flange.











HELP!!

The v band ring that you are using appears to be pretty thick. Do you have the other half? When both are together they all equal a certain thickness so your other half should be narrower allowing the v band assembly to fit when its on the turbo.

I'm running a t76 aswell and my v band ring is bigger then on the turbo, but when you tighten the v band, everything seals up nicely.

I dont have the other half as I just bought the clamp and the one flange, was thinking thats all I needed.

I just called KYTP and they told me that the ones they use dont fit exactly but once you tighten them down there fine???
