The ring that holds the two parts of the turbo together, you know the one that has two halves and you use a bolt to clamp it down tight? What's it called and where can I get it? And how much does that sucker cost.

Isnt it called a C clamp? Dunno where to get it tho. =\

I think its actually called a V-Clamp. Try one of the websites that rebuild turbos.

Try a search for Dohicky, or a Whatchamacallit You may get somewhere there. I asked the question of what that was called a while ago, on another forum, noone knew what it was..

It's a V-clamp .... I think
A C-clamp is something else...I have one here and my turbo also uses that V-clamp thingy

Are you talking about the 2 half circles that hold the exhaust housing to the chra? Or is it in fact a single V-band clamp like every else seems to believe?

superpilun

It's the 2 half circles that are hinged on one end and have a bolt and threaded retainer on the other end. It holds the center section to the exhaust housing. What's it called damn it! Where do I buy it?

I dont know if c clamps come in different sizes but they are usally small, and look more like a letter E but rounded
