I always have the best solution when Im stuck in this situation

take it to your mechanic, let them do it. :spoton:

Are you Nuts,lol,

Stuff paying a mechanic to tighten a bolt just take a breather and try again,

follow GMKILLER'S advice and you should be right,

Anyone make a kit with all new bolts/studs/nuts to do manifold to head, manifold to turbo, and turbo to dump?

I've seen the Atomic stuff, but I don't want to pay $550.

Turbo & dump is being replaced so good opportunity to change stud's etc and rid it of this problem once and for all.

I can get at it easy by using a few wobble bars and a universal joint onto the socket. I use 1/4" gear and step down my 3/8"ratchet to the 1/4" extension. Easy to get at from near the wheel arch, in line with that bolt.

found this thread by chance - just took my turbo off and found there was no gasket from the turbo to manifold :furious:

after reading around I found that it's actually normal.. either way I'll be putting in a gasket when the turbo goes back on

im a little bit a lot years late on replying to this thread, but if it helps anyone else in the future - undo the actuator bracket on the front housing of the turbo and move it away to make life easier and you can get a ratchet spanner into there with some decent room to swing, crack her open and then when she's loose enough undo her with your fingers :spiteful:
