you need to get the proper clamp most likely it is a vband clamp or you can have a flange welded on the end, and if the turbo is an aftermarket psoistion then you will need to modify your RB DP because of the fact that the position of the turbo will be different.

I Had to modify my 3" DP to fit to my aftermarket turbo you will most likely have to do the same I can post a pic of how mine is.
a flange welded on to the end so that I can bolt on the DP.
