Hey guys, of course, on sunday my XS power turbo blew, and im on a mission. So, i found a turbo i like, however, i am confused about the exhaust side. Im used to a bolt pattern, but there is none on this. Im wondering how the down pipe would connect to this. Ive heard somthing about a "tab" but have no idea what that is, what it looks like, or how it works. If anyone can take a look at the pics and let me know how to connect in detail, i would appreciate it. Thanks.

no offense man but if your cheap xs power turbo blew why would you buy another one not name brand look for a garrett they are reliable and you wont be doing what your doing right now in another month

 

garrett is a name brand^^^

 

Ok, answered my own question, found the V-Band and clamp

 

The exhaust housing is going to be held on by a clamp? I've never seen this style before

 

+1 forty, id like to see pics of this and how it holds up

 

No, the downpipe is connected to the turbo with a band clamp with a v-notch.

The end of the exhaust housing has a sqaured flair, so does the downpipe. The band clamp has a groove designed into it that hugs the lips and squeezes them together as it's tightened.

It's very common, especially holset turbos. I prefer it over bolt-up style DP's.

 

that seller has pretty crappy feedback be careful.

 

No worries, bought a Garrett T3, cant wait to put it in
