Damnit! It doesnt fit here either. Hey what gives. We tried all three groups of bolts (excluding the one 12mm ) and it doesnt fit.

Brad said that he measured?

Cool

Brad, never challange a man with a digi cam and too much time on his hands.



Like I said originally.

They are all 14mm with the exception of the one 12 mm on the bottom.



Now Brad you gonna try to tell me that you went and checked them in your underwear? We both know that you didn't check.





Son, you just got OWNED!

Dave,

Hah!, you went an checked. Sucker! I did go check! The nuts on my studs look diffrent than yours, mine are flat nuts with seprate washers. The turbos where replaced once before I bought the car, maybe thats when they got swapped. But, they where changed by Mazda. So, I don't think either one of us got own3d! And I ain't ya son, BOY!

They would have had to retap the manifold to do that. Do you know how hard it would be to tap into cast Iron?I know that you dont use a differnt manifold with the b&r's also. You need to lay down the crack pipe or show me the pics.

I'm sorry but i dont belive you. I think your just to proud to admit you were wrong, but thats ok I still like you

Anyway. I sent you a pm about the switch.

I have the stock rebuild BNRs, same mani. You don't have to retap the mani just to use a diffrent nut! Just cause a nut is 17mm doesn't mean it can't have the same thread pattern as a 14mm. The nut would just be bigger, which mine are. I also think that Danny's is 17mm aswell. And no I'm not to proud to admit when I'm wrong. Im just not wrong this time!

LOL, ok Brad.

I dont know why they would use a 17mm nut with the same thread pitch as a 14I.D MM nut but if you insist.
