the bolts holding the turbo onto the exsaust manifold seem to rattle loose and pop out while im driveing, doesnt even take 20 minutes, short of welding it on im stumped, anyone have any idea's? it's really annoying to all of a sudden loose all my boost because of a stupid bolt

What about a locking tab setup like the factory uses? Or a safety-wire tab? Castle-nut/cotter pin?



Torqued down good, I can't imagine that much of a problem. Is your mani wobbly or sumpthin?

Are you saying you can't get a torque wrench in there, or anything enough to get them damn tight? They gotta be damn tight. I realize there's no room for a torque wrench most of the time (all my exp.). Even with the engine out on the floor.



Sorry, I guess I was using "torqued" rather loosely.

i think i got it now, tore off a couple patch's of skin gettin in there to do it, but didnt come off durin a 2 hour trip from my buddys house, so here's hopein.. now i just have to find a way to get one of the bolts back into the rear of the turbo thru the charge pipe, the guy who had it aparently took the turbo out and forgot to put one of the bolts back in, or just ignored it
