Lets see your v-band outlets.

Im looking for pics of people that have v-band outlet turbos and what there o2 housings/downpipes look like. Im on a 2G awd running 3" to help get an idea of what im looking for. I have looked around for a few days but havnt came up with much. Thanks.

Here's one I did for a guy on this site. His turbine housing was originally a 2.5" 4-bolt outlet.

We welded on a v-band weld flange:

Then, fabbed up a stainless O2 housing that grew from 2.5" to 3" right after the initial bend. Turned out pretty nice.

Wow really looks good Paul. Im mostly looking to see what angle of pipe I would need to get and add onto my current downpipe. Was wondering what you used or what you thought of these two.

120 degree bend.

This is nice but not sure if it comes out far enough. There is another one thats the same but comes out alittle more just not sure if it has a sharp enough bend.

That 120* bend would probably be perfect.


For the one that I did, I used a Pro-Werks donut and took my cut out of it.

4", s372. Its just 409, but its coated now. I had it tig welded, I just used my mig to tack it up. This brings back memories, so much work last year.. glad this year's off season is keeping things simple.

Vbands are awesome, I won't build anything using 3 or 4 bolt flanges, its such a pain pull apart.

I have the downpipe and JMF o2 housing for the BEP twin scroll housing. I dont really want to cut up a $300 o2 housing but no one is going to pay what I want for it then go buy all the stuff. It has the flange I need as well as the right curve so f**k it. Think im just going to cut the 6 bolt flange off and add the v-band there then cut the flange off the down pipe and housing and have it welded together. Once thats done it wont matter what it looks like as long as it hold because I will just rewrap it.
