s70turbo1998 Posted March 8, 2007 Report Share Posted March 8, 2007 Ok i am confused now, I am getting an estimate for a turboback exhaust, so I want the connection between the turbo and downpipe...does the Vband connect the exhaust housing to the exhaust or what?

Its connected by bolts. There is a kinda V-band between the compressor side and the exhaust side of the turbo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish i could get two people to say the same thing in this thread haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish i could get two people to say the same thing in this thread haha.I have the exact car you have, I have done a turbo swap not more than a month ago and I can walk outside and take pictures if you would like. Here ill post you a picture of the 13g ANGLED exhaust side with custom 3inch DP:This is what a conical outlet look like. If you are just swapping the compressor side then have them make the DP up to fit your stock 13G angled flange. Otherwise you will have to swap the turbo before they can make you up the DP.

s70turbo1998 Posted March 8, 2007 Report Share Posted March 8, 2007 Alright sounds good, I had sent the people giving me an estimate an email saying it was a V band connection so I just wanted to figure it all out and send a correction email before they did my estimate. I will definitely get the 15G in before they do the exhaust and DP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
narxs70 Posted March 10, 2007 Report Share Posted March 10, 2007 i think the LPT 13g to 15g turbo swap is the new pegs. Hopefully i can get mine done by mid-may. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
