2004.5 Dodge Stock Turbo v-band clamp..?

I have snapped the bolt on the v-band clamp that holds exhaust housing onto the center section of the stock turbo..

I called the Dodge parts dealership and they tell me the turbo is serviced as a unit and they do not have the part number for this clamp?

Is anyone aware of a Dodge part # for this clamp?
Another souorce and size for this clamp?

Outside measuement when clamp fully closed is approx 4.25" the inside V measures 4". Not sure how these are measured..

Himni Racing, Turbocharger, Turbo, Garrett, Turbo Kit, GReddy, Mazda RX-7, HKS, Apexi, TiAL, TurboXS, TurboSmart, Flange, Turbonetics, Exhaust, Intercooler, ACT, Intake sells many v-band clamps in assorted sizes but want to be sure I get on that will work for the turbo.

Not sure if I need to go to Turbo mfr. for this part?

Thanks, Jeff

All Set!

Found a part number on the clamp..

RG Ray Corp.
3595658

Called Cummins NorthEast and they carry RG Ray..
That is the part # and I have one on its way.. $33 + shipping..

Dodge wanted $90 for the part they thought was correct..
Parts could not find a picture showing the item.. Raynham Dodge..

Dodge in Brockton said the turbo was not servicable and if I needed a part on the turbo I would need to replace the turbo..!

Good to hear you were able to find the right part.

It makes you wonder how these dealerships survive when they seem to either not know or not care about the details of their products.

I prefer using the Cummins shops for parts. They're more knowledgeable about the motor and parts, and they almost always have better prices.

Makes me wonder how much they would charge for the complete turbo if the clamp was $90

$3000? More?
