Default 5 bolt turbo to cat flange. where to buy

hey guys. i want to have a custom test pipe made cause i currently have a high flow cat and i need somewhere to mount my wideband 02 plug and there really is not much room and also im going to have to take it out to weld in an 02 bung...

your thoughts?

where would have this to order? i might also need the triangular one as well to connect to the exhaust

034 usually has a lot of stuff like that, but why do you want a 5 bolt one?

Thinking about it, I have a v-band adapter that bolted straight to my 50 trim, and I think it would bolt up to your turbo too. Then you could just have a v-band flange welded to your new dp and it would make things way better and easier.

Here's some pics of the ones from my 50trim and 35r. I believe I got the smaller one from 034, and my 35r came with the other.

That will not work for him since that bolts to a 4 bolt exhaust housing. His turbo has a internal wg which is why it has a 5 bolt, the outlet is oval not round.

If you need one let me know. Here are a few options.

Normal 5 bolt flange



Mild Steel CNC 5 bolt flange



SS 5 bolt flange




5 bolt flange that has a round outlet




SS 5 bolt flange with 3" pipe welded on



Mild version of that flange


This is a 5 bolt flange that goes to a Vband.

Go with the last one which is a Vband, then you can just have the test pipe made with a vband flange. The cheapest option would most likely be the 5 bolt flange with the oval 3" pipe on it already, then just make the rest of the test pipe onto that.


BTW you can mount your wide band 02 sensor after the HFC, it needs to be at least 18" away from the turbo anyway. Not going to see a huge difference between before the HFC and after. It might read a whole .2 leaner.

Mount it at the bottom of the DP or right after the DP. Mine is at the bottom of my DP.
