I also have a .96 a/r turbine housing with the MP 76. So the only thing you did to make your .96 a/r housing seal was a different type of V-band clamp or the avtual flange? You didnt use those gaskets and didnt have to grind on the V-band flange of the .96?
I used obx 3" gasket and vband that I bought from atpturbo out of cali and works great. No grinding NADA, no leaks .:banana:
