turbo instalation
#2
personally i use studs to mount the turbo aswell as studs on the down pipe if there is no v-band option. and i replace the studs and nuts every time there has been a few heat cycles threw the turbo ie some miles have been put on.

Thanks man I recently rebuilt the engine and when I started it up I found the turbos leaking I'll try refitting them again and If it's still leaking then I'll sort something else out
Also I bought the car with a blown engine and when i opened it i found 2tips misssing in the rear. Does that mean the turbos are ruined and that I wont know for sure if they are ok or not untill the engine is run in ????

I reused the studs, but with NEW gaskets...which are a little pricey. I've heard of some trying to re-use the gaskets with mixed results. Turbos are such a PITA to R & R I didn't want to chance it.
I also bought new copper nuts and made sure to torque them to spec with hi-temp anti-seize. No issues over the last three years.
