Default vband piping?

Not sure what the right place is to put this, but does anyone offer vband piping for our car? It just seems that even with t-bolts on everything I STILL get leaks here and there....cant seem to get rid of them. Granted I am pushing decent air with 24-25psi on a GT35 turbo with GT40 wheel. Nothing too big, but still keep getting leaks and is irritating. I am looking for vband piping on both hot and cold side...even the pipe from turbo to intercooler would be nice as well. Although I know you cant get the turbo with the vband piece on it can you?

just put some shilac on the pipes where you clamp them. it will seal it real nice.. and for the vband on the turbo thing... my turbo has a v-band on it.... but its a diesel turbo. hahaha. just weld a v-band on it if u really want that. but do the shilac thing and that should work real good. cause its sticky and seals the silicone to the metal real good.

I don't remember who I was talking to but he was telling me he was going to have Kevin Warren build him a v-band intercooler piping kit. Try Kevin Warren and see what he says.

I have never heard of shilac......link me and/or tell me where I can buy it. I am just looking to have a leak free car...the tbolts just tend to keep leaking in different areas. I try and boost leak the car every weekend and it seems that a leak is always somewhere to be fixed.

Ive had this planned for a good while now just havent taken the time to do it. If you do it, Id reccomend the ones with an o-ring in them. I know they don't all have that since most v-bands are used for exhaust but they have v-band clamps with an O-ring between the two flanges which should work wonderfully for the piping.

viberant does not sell car specific. so you would have to buy the u bends and v-band clamps and wield them together. OR call PFIspeed.com and see what they could do for you.
