how many bolts are needed?? Cell phone quality pics
In good faith http://bayimg.com/JAmDIAABL

Are all the bolts needed to secure the downpipe to the turbo?
Downpipe (standard 5 bolt):
Turbo (Nissan t3 z31 style 7 bolt):
Turbo vs DP:
This is the flange that I should use, but i'm not paying $29 for a flange from blaast...
the only 2 bolt/holes that line up:
Weir doesn't have the flange. I was wondering if I could get away wit drilling the dp flange and holding it wit 4 bolts? I know I can get 4 to bolt up, but would the heat affect the sealing? Its just gonna be an open dump to get heat out of the engine bay.
The DP came from the same guy i got the manifold from. He was using a turbonetics t3/t4, and i'm using a t3 with a goofy *** flange.
I wanna use this DP so I don't have to have this ---- welded for me cuz i'm a :1 with no welder

soda can gasket with the copper spray. And I was figuring an o2 bung for the wideband less than 12" from the turbo.
I'm aware exhaust leaks will mess up A/F readings.
Is there a minimum length the dp has to be to not mess with a/f readings? or as long as its reading all the exhaust gas coming out of the turbine it will be fine?

I ran a flange complex and I torched out of a toyota bumper and cleaned up with a grinder. It sealed ok until I took it on and off a few times and started snapping bolts. I have a new flange I've been too lazy to put it on.
Like I said it depends on how much you care
