How common is a turbine housing that has a 3.5" v band? I'm moving over to 4 bolt turbos, and I bought the GN1 Performance 3.5" v band downpipe. After buying it, I decided to start turbo shopping and it seems that 3" is very, very common. I don't want to run a giant turbo to get a 3.5" housing that will work with this downpipe, and I don't really want to modify the pipe. Anyone running this downpipe? What's your experience with turbo selection with the size of this v band?

thats what i did , cut the 3" flange off the exhaust housing and weld on a 3.5" vband ring
ive also done it the other way and thats to cut the flange from the pipe and weld on a 3" vband ring which is about 3.38 OD and close enough to weld to the 3.5 pipe by slightly rolling over the edge of the pipe
