Down pipe and v clamp

[Rondo]

I have a small leak where the down pipe connects to the turbo. It became very loud and I thought I had destroyed my engine. I do eve it home at about 35 mph and yesterday I tightened up the v clamp. That took care of the loud noise. I still have a small leak at the joint. I can see puffs when I start it and heat ticks when driving down the road. It blows right in the firewall.

I am thinking about replacing the v clamp first since it is probably original. Where is a good place to purchase it. Part number would be helpful. Also my next step after that would be to replace the down pipe. I have found a couple. Most of them increase your pipe diameter to at least 3”. I am not interested in increasing my pipe diameter. Any suggestions on where to obtain a new down pipe?

thanks

@IDIoit might be a lead

all i know of is the 3" DP's
could always make your own.

The 3 in down pipe requires your turbo housing to be modified. I want to stay with the stock size. I would prefer to replace the pipe without removing turbo, if possible. Of course I want to try just replacing the v clamp first.

Do you have the 093 turbo? If so will this work?

How does the stock 093 turbo have to be modified for a 3in down pipe? My kit came with the 3in and worked just fine with my 093

Going out on a limb here, but I'm guessing that Rondo's talking about a Factory Turbo instead of a 093.

what gave it away? the v band clamp?

Couldn't one just bolt one of these generic eBay vband clamp plates on and get a bigger exhaust downpipe? Wastegate would be deleted, though some of them have a wastegate configuration as well.

3" vband clamp 5 bolt t3/t4 adapter comes up with a ton of results and configurations

From what I have read is the back of turbo has to be cut off and a 3in adapter welded into it. Yes I have the stock turbo. Isn’t that the ATS 93?

 

[BlindAmbition]

The ATS 093 is the aftermarket turbo and came with a 3" DP

The factory turbo is made by ATS but has the squished downpipe

I have the squished down pipe.

Well that and the having to convert to a 3" down pipe.
