you dont.

requires welding on a v-band flange pretty much all you can do.

Man, I hope that turbo is not going on a 4cyl. That thing is HUGE!!! A/R of 1.15 wow, that must be off a diesel.

I can't tell for sure because of the angle of your picture, but it looks like it's a V-band setup. If it is, it does use a clamp. You also have to weld ends on your downpipe(s) that will work with v-band clamps.

Default The lips of 3" in the middle are very flat...

very flat, i was wondering if I could force a clamp around it, it sounds very weak to me ...

This is what I've seen used in the past, not sure how it attatches to the turbo though.
