Rotary Car Club - View Single Post - Tips on tightening down v-clamp on downpipe and turbo?

Hey guys,

Got a little dilemma. I need to get my car inspected, but I have an exhaust leak right now between the turbo and the downpipe. I think it's because my v-clamp isn't down tight enough. I've tried to muscle it in tightly, but it still doesn't seem to work. I'm afraid that I'll get boost creep while I'm boosting, so I want to fix it asap.

Can someone give me some tips on getting it completely clamped down?
