Hello

I've purchased a Powerlab kit(manifold, downpipe and dumptubes), and a GTX3071(divided T3 with V-band exhaust, 0.78 A/R) from atpturbo. But when I tried to install the downpipe flanges didn't match:

How to correct this? Should I buy new flange and re-weld the downpipe? Or it's pointless? I need to know which is non-standard one: Atpturbo's turbine housing or Powerlab's flange.

the v band on the dump pipe is wrong

normally when i buy turbo's that use V band flanges i ask the seller to supply a v band flange and clamp to suit
that way when it comes time to fabricate the exhaust pipe i have the right v band flange to fabricate with

ATP's should be the 'standard'.

Correct flange with reducer, weld on would be best I think. Usually when you buy the turbine housings from atp, at the bottom of the page it has related parts like gaskets flanges etc that would go with that housing so look up the housing you bought and the correct v band flange should be on the bottom of that page.

at the bottom of the page it has related plates

select the v band flange and clamp

Thanks to all for advices. I fabricated the flange and re-welded it.

P.S. Sorry for late response :)
