A v band exhaust outlet, but it shouldn't be a v band holding the exhaust housing to the center section. The H1C, h1E and HX series use hold down bolts like a garrett does. The Hy35 and HE351VE that I have use the vband to hold the turbine housing on.

I haven't seen this suggested yet. But to get my t3 apart I first failed miserably with pb/wd40 and hammers.. and then eventually used a pneumatic impact hammer to the center section.. the vibration shook the damn thing right off in 10 sec total.

I've had luck with hammering straight down onto the exhaust housing a few times(with a block of wood of course) It seems to loosen things up believe it or not. Then trying to hit off the exhaust housing. Soak that bitch with pb...

I think this thread has reached a consensus... lubrication, beating, and heat. /thread
