Does anyone make a nice 3" or better T04 flanged downpipe? I dont mind doing a custom job, but if I could just go buy one it would be alot easier. If I need to , where can I get a T04 3" center flange?

 

why not use a V-band?

 

Whats a v-band?

 

V-band

 

Maybe Im just retarded (more than possible ) but I dont see how a V-band would solve my problem, they are just a type of clamp, correct? Id still need some sort of flange for the downpipe to the turbo?? Right?

 

What he's saying is that if you have a turbo w/ a v-band flange and your DP w/ a v-band flange, then you use a v-band clamp to connect them together.

You can also buy a v-band kit that you can have welded to your DP and turbo and will have the clamp you need.

Dunno, personally I think if you don't already have the v-band flange on your turbo, there are probably other options that are just as good and maybe not as expensive. I already have the flange on my turbo though, so that's what I'm going to do.

 

I think... maybe... that you are confused. I've never heard of anyone using a T04 flange on the DP to turbo connection. Not that it couldn't be done, but usually people use a V-band, or some sort of 3-4 bolt circular connection.

The typical T4 flange that you hear mentioned is to connect the turbo to the manifold.

I have no idea what you mean by a T04 3" center flange??

There are T4 turbine housings that are "on center" that would have a 3" exhaust (either bolted or V-band).... but I don't think that's what you're trying to get at.

I apologize, I wasnt thinking correctly and just worded my thoughts wrong. What I was trying to ask is does anyone make a downpipe flanged for the exhaust housing of TO4 turbos. The 4-bolt circular pattent, as opposed to the stock FC 3 bolt triangular flange.

 

Sounds as if you have a T4 "On-Center" turbine, and you want to buy a flange thats mates to it so you can weld it to a down pipe correct?? If this is the case they sell the flanges.. go here-->

click catalog, then Turbo chargers and accessaries (has a big "T" with a star behind it for Turbonetics), then click Installation Accessories , You'll see a round 4 hole 3" T4 flange part number PN 20174 and stainless gasket for it part number 30142S.

If your looking for a premade down pipe with that flange on it, NO, no one makes it.

Exactly what I was looking for, thanks!
