i have a pair of BW s366 turbos on my car. when removing one of the v-bands clamps, the bolt stripped out as i was removing the nut and had to be cut off and is no longer usable. I know that the s366 turbo has an angled surface so a special flange has to be used but the flange was unharmed when cutting the v-band clamp off. my question is, can i use any v-band clamp and if so, is it 3.5" I need to order? the flange and downpipe ID is 3.5". or do i have to base my order off of the outer diameter of the flange?

sorry, havent ordered v-bands in years. thanks

 

There should be a part number on the clamp . ??

 

possible?

I'll have to contact them and ask how long it is but that's a good idea


Blown385, it does but I was hoping to try a different brand just cause these have given me issues since day one. Every time I tightened or loosened them the threads felt like there were getting eaten up. This time they finally let go

 

I ended up buying the replacement t bolt and it worked great! Thanks for the advice

 

YAY! we won one.
