V-band leak, any fix?
Hey guys, i installed two turbo kits from A-spec and they have terrible exhaust leak at the v-band at the exit of the turbo. Anyone has a fix for this? Should i try to use exhaust silicon?

It is dependent on how flat the surfaces that the V band clamps on. If it is leaking badly then you can try to flatten the surfaces a bit or use some high temp gasket sealant.
