Hi i was just putting my turbo back together but i broke the turbo clamp and i was wondering what size clamp do i buy to replace the one on the CT26 :aigo: THANKS
Turbo Clamp
- Thread starter SupraStorm1080
- Start date
The 3" clamp holding the accordian hose to the turbo, or the custom clamp
that holds the two halves of the turbo together or the 2-2.25" clamp for the
turbo compressor exit?

LOL, you're probably better off going and buying a used turbo for the amount the dealer is going to charge you for that.
And yes, you're gonna have to go visit Toyota. Give Champion a call and see what they can do with you, but you really should lube up regardless.

If i try to drive the car do you think the turbo will split in half??? Hey anyone have any ideas on how to fix it??? i just broke the bolts off but the clamp it self is still in good shape so you tink i can drill a hole through and use a new screw and nut???
I could picture the exhaust side slipping down and catching the blade while spinning at 100K RPM and shredding the turbo instantly, not the mention the metal pieces bombarding the engine bay...
Don't know if this will fit, but a quick ebay search yielded this.

Actually, going back and looking at it again, it does state that it's a vband clamp for a turbo housing. Perhaps someone should measure and see if 3 inches will cover fitting the housing on the CT?
I believe they are talking about the rear housing where the v-band is to connect the downpipe to the hot side.
I have a clamp from a broken turbo that I took off last weekend, I can send it to you if you want. Toyota wouldn't even sell you just the clamp, you'd have to buy a whole turbo. I'm sure there are plenty of people with broken CT26's out there that could get you a clamp.

I sent the seller a question. It states that this is a wider clamp for the turbine housing not for the exhaust. So, we'll see. It's actually a sweet clamp, so if it fits, I may get one seeing as how it's stainless. That'd be yummy and tons better looking than my nastified rusty one.

Yeah, I hear that. I stopped by my dealer the other day looking for a vband and compressor nut and they only show the turbo assembly. Only part they said was separate was the dang gaskets. What kind of shite is that?
