WTB: T3 to V Band adapter flange
Atlanta, Georgia 30067
I'm looking for a T3 5 bolt -to- V-Band Adapter flange
Would prefer a 3.0" inch but 2.5" would be acceptable.
going to be welded onto the turbine housing so it doesn't have to be perfect.
Paypal verified.
Vouches: PhilStubbs, Xenocron, Ask around

Re: WTB: T3 to V Band adapter flange
It seems to be the simple ---- that eludes me sometimes, i came back and read this right after the idea occurred to me.
The only thing I have for welding is a fluxcore and I still haven't gotten skilled enough with it. The only guy I know that would hook me up with quality welds is a junky and can't keep a job long enough to have access to any equipment.
Think I'm going to bite the bullet and get the parts, then pay a local shop to do it.....the very thought of having to pay someone else to work on my car sickens me but I want it right, once and for all and not have to ---- with it anymore.

Re: WTB: T3 to V Band adapter flange
no can do on the ebay, got about 30 bucks budgeted for it so the plan is,
just found a 2.5' v band clamp in my massive pile of junk/spare parts collection,
I found a chopped up 3" ebay downpipe that still has a 5 bolt flange on it, going to cut off the flange and grind it down smooth.
Going to spring for a couple of new v band flanges, I found one of those too but would take some work to salvage it.
Going to weld v band to 5 bolt then weld it strait to the turbine housing.
as far as the rest of the DP, still working that out. I'd like to make a test pipe with a couple o2 bungs the exact length of my catalytic converter that only goes on the car one day a year. I'll also at some point put some flanges on the converter so when its time to swap it out, it will only be a 5 minute procedure.
bahh this shouldn't be this much of an issue, i **WILL** get schooled on welding, sucking at it is annoying
