FFFFFFFFFFFFAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRKKKKKK it's the turbo to dump and turbo to manifold ones and this is about the 5th time now I't lost nuts and the umpteenth time they are loose and it's been about 2000k since tightened_________________ Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/46664-sick-to-fkn-death-of-loose-turbo/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
