What do I need to hold cone on turbo?

K guys been trying to find something to hold the pipe that my cone goes on to turbo. The rubber boots don't work, of course they melts in half. There some kind of flange I can use? But I need something to fit this.

You must not be using good ones if they are melting... Here are the ones I am using on my car and it is right on the turbo like you want to do. Hundreds of miles and many hard pulls and no melting for me. I suggest getting the t-bolt clamps with it. Best clamps to use for this kind of thing.

AutoZones hoses aren't even silicone. Some 3+ layered silicon work great. Never had any problems with them. A T-Bolt clamp will work perfect to hold it on.
