I picked up this HX35 from a friend at work who decided to go bigger on his Cummins diesel.
It has a powder coated compressor housing, absolutely ZERO shaft play, new seals, and he had it rebalanced shortly before he sold it to me cheap! Let's just say he made me an offer I couldn't refuse...
On to my question... While I was cleaning up the exhaust housing so I could get the wastegate flapper welded shut, I noticed that the V-band outlet on the housing was some oddball size... The OD of the V-band is close to 3", but the ID is something weird.
Are there aftermarket or stock HX35 12cm or 14cm exhaust housings that have a 3" ID V-band already on it, or should I just have one welded onto this one? In a perfect world, I'd like to find a 12cm or 14cm housing with no internal wastegate, a 3" V-band outlet and a T4 footprint so I wouldn't need an adapter plate.
I've found things like this:

But, I have no way of knowing if that fits the HX35. I'm guessing not because the V-band outlet is 5" in diameter.
Any help or input would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!
