> [@HotRodKid](#): > > ^^^wtf ??? they wont fix it ? > > partial charge back by your CC company FTW they said it should fit fine , if you just play around w/ it/ by bolting on the flange first to the waste gate and mess around w/ the v-band clamp. and i quote the IS boards > [@Malekreza11](#): > > no you are not missing anything. Every PFS kit i have installed (about 5 of them) have that same exact fitment issue. Not as bad as yours, but there is a definete issue on fitment. Its not perfectly flush.

Some had ok fitment, some had rather poor fitment like the one pictured above. With the way yours looks, you will have a major leak one way or another.

just use smaller bolts in the other flange and rotate it a few degrees. It’s not a load bearing part… ---

guy doing my install (RacerX) tried heating up the flange from the manifold to the wastegate… he said he got the angle better but the height still has a big issue. ---
