Short of pulling the turbo off down there it needs to be at home. But I guess I could get away with it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One is completely gone... The one that bolts the rear housing to the log manifold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(some locking nuts, ideally, so it doesn't occur again).The ones you want are M10x1.5 at the manifold end and M10x1.25 at the turbo side.These ->http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/TURBO-EXHAUST-STUD-NUT-SET-M10-X-1-25-M10-X-1-5-4-PACK-/170532913066?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item27b48dbfaa#ht_1118wt_905With these locking nuts ->http://gcg.com.au/index.php?page=shop.product_details&flypage=flypage.tpl&product_id=1281&category_id=219&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=101 Edited 24/05/14 07:12 AM by k31th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I were to take a guess, I'd say the turbo flows fine without one and it wasn't worth the coin to put one in there.It is indeed just a standard single opening T3 flange.

Spyathe Donating Members 872 Member For: 11y 4m Gender: Male Posted 24/05/14 07:38 AM Share Posted 24/05/14 07:38 AM Just had a peek at mine, there is definitely something there, looks around 0.2/0.3mm thick, same as the turbo flange gasket (which looks a little black around some parts) so I might need to check the tension soonMoving back on topic, WPMO, I still can't find any reason for only getting 3.7psi, no leaks, IC pipes are good and no codes.My next step is too bypass the solenoid and technically that should lower the boost to 3psi, telling me the solenoid is working. Then I'm stumped Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any reason everyone just doesn't use 10x1.5mm threaded studs and a bolt to dodgy it up just to get her home? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
