wtf? where does the downpipe go?
 

Ok I am turbocharging my 88 gxl but the turbo I got is wierd there is no bolts on the hot side here is a pic sorry about the quality. Can someone tell me what I can do. thank you.

It looks like a V-band clamp, just a different way of holding the downpipe on. If you check our the HKS T-51, it has a V-Band on the Turbine inlet.

Is there some sort of a flange on the hot side to clamp the DP to it? Otherwise I will send you the half tube of crazy glue I have in my kitchen :D

The downpipe should have a flat flange on it, the V-band holds the two together. It works really well if both surfaces are flat. Just do a quick search I am sure you could probably find some pics.

the only flang is on the flang itself and it is flush with the housing

Here are some pics of a V-band set-up. If you could take some better pics it would help out a bunch.

Here they are.....hopefully!

Hope that helps....
