I took one look at the heat shields and went NFW... I'll leave that to the service dept. When I say Turbo bolts are loose it could be any of the bolts on the exhaust, manifold or head side.<{POST_SNAPBACK}>It's not a hard job now that I know what to do. It was straight foward until I undone the water pipe that cools the turbo bearing and I never had anything to stop the flow of coolant all hell broke loose as I was trying to find something to stop the flow Ended up wrapping thread tape around it. Lost a header tank of coolant. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/23208-turbo-bolts/page/2/#findComment-346172 Share on other sites More sharing options...

No more problem. mind you this is an expensive fix because of the labour. Maybe the solution is to supply the studs and have ford fit...Good Luck!Ben.

Guest newl Guests Posted 13/02/06 11:50 AM Share Posted 13/02/06 11:50 AM I've an idea. Take a walk to the parachute riggers shop, pick one up, use it at the track. Problem solved.
