I was putting back on the hotside onto the turbo (which is still on the car) it slides in and I have everything lined up. However, I'm wondering how far in it needs to slide in. I've already hammered and tapped it as far as it will go and the v-band clamp fits fine on it. Just not sure if the two mating surfaces between the hotside and coldside of the turbo should not have a gap at all. Right now I would say there's like a 2-3mm gap.

 

Well im looking at my brand new 6262 in the box and there is no gap at all. It should defenitly seal.

 

Do you think you could take a picture of it and post it?

 

the 6262 and 16g are different turbos so you cant compare the, but the clamp should mate the both sides together, i am not sure where the gap would be..post some pics so we can see what you are talking about
