Can anyone confirm that our turbo uses a t3 down pipe flange? I've looked allover and can't find any information on if it will work, and I can't even find a Mitsubishi flange.
I think a flange of this style would make it easy to remove part of the DP if you used another v-band down lower than the exhaust manifold.
Thanks

Nope. T3/T4 generally specifies inlet size/flange. The outlet configurations can be as numerous as the stars.
It might be the same- I'd compare the dimensions of the hole centers to be sure.
You can always have what you're looking for made... cut the flange off a stock DP, have a v-band welded on. Most V-band outlets are much larger than the size of our DP, though.
I'm rather surprised no one has offered something like this as a "bolt-on" configuration.
It'd be a lot easier to make a crossover pipe with an external WG flange, and quite a bit cheaper than the PTE-style downpipes. Even if you factor in the cost of a WG.

It says it’s for a t3 turbo, that’s the same style flange that our turbo uses right?
Thanks,

Re: turbo exhuast v-band adapter?
I guess if it doesn't work I can modify it to work. I would think that the only part that could be wrong would be how far the bolt holes are away form the sinter of the outlet. If that is the case I can always elongate/enlarge the holes to make it work. The out let on this is 2.5" so it should be close!

Re: turbo exhuast v-band adapter?
If you look at the bolt hole areas, there's very little meat to go outwards. You could have them built up with weld, if all else fails.
Another thing to be considered is the position of the DP relative to the outlet of your new turbo. Hopefully it works out...

Re: turbo exhuast v-band adapter?
that piece didn't work without modification. I used a universal 2.5 collector flange and welded it to that v-band adapter and it worked out great. I used 3 more 3" v-band clamps on the down pipe so I can remove it in less that 10 min now, and have great access to change the plugs out!
I also wrapped the upper part of the dp with header wrap, and used a turbo blanket. this really helped cut down on under hood temps.

here are some pics of the blockoff and 3" V-band adapter that I whipped up
a few weeks ago
