V band is just a way to connect two pipes. The two joints fit together perfectly and then there's a "v band" that goes around the joint and holds the pipes together.

It's just a way to connect the downpipe to the turbo without using a flange. It's way easier to disconnect a v band downpipe than a standard one where you have to loosen 5 nuts.

v band doesn't have anything to do with the performance of the turbo, it's just a way to connect the downpipe.

** hope that made sense, I'm fighting a hangover
