    I don't understand why companies have been so resistant to casting V bands into the smaller turbine housings. Its been so many years.....

    Yeah I know. And those that do make them proprietary so you have to buy their matching flanges and clamps to make it work.

    Yes..........at least you don't have to worry about it. Some of the cost of your turbo is definitely rolled up into the welded V band flange. Few companies try to make exhaust housings and I feel its got something to do with not being able to get the proper metal alloy into the proper characteristics. Everyone seems to make their own stuff when it comes to the aluminum parts.

    I wonder if they have a 1-10hp gain on the tapered compressor nut. Would be an interesting dyno test.

    Brian sent me some more pics today. I think this could have been considered what the kids call "sexting".

    Haha... the black curtain will be hiding everything but the engine compartment. I'll be too embarrassed to display the rest of the car.

    Thanks very much! Of course everything really impressive on the car is Brian's handiwork.
