Sick To Fkn Death Of Loose Turbo

[bloosted]

I bought the tabs,nuts and studs alltogother and they are made out of that inconel I believe so it cost allmost $100 for the lot and it's been 2 weeks now so will keep you informed

I can't wait to hear a final solution. The bolts on the face of the turbo case keep coming off mine.

I am trialing a graphite composite gasket from the head to the manifold, because it has some give in it as opposed to the factory steel gasket I think it will go a long way in reducing the vibration in the entire turbo system which should stop the studs and nuts coming loose as often as they do now.

[ETM]

the studs are 10mm and the nuts are 9/16 or 14mm

Just weld the f*ckers (and hope you never have to take then off)

On the serious note, how are these things done on other cars? I'm sure that not every turbo car needs it's exhaust manifold and turbo bolts tightened with every service.

Bloosted (if you are still around) what Nissan did those studs and locking tabs come from. Any part numbers.

[scottay]

if you REALLLY never wanted them to come off and never needed to take the turbo or manifold off you could tac weld em on lol.

and then if u did needa take em off.. grinder time :D

they are off a GTR and they come with 2 holes so you cut them in half and have 2 of the above, this fixed my loose turbo once and for all....wish I had done right from the start
