TURBO07 Member 3 Member For: 12y 1m 28d Posted 30/10/14 05:53 AM Share Posted 30/10/14 05:53 AM Hi everyone,I'm new to turbo cars but am fairly sure that there is a leak due to one bolt missing as evident in the photos attached. Guessing it's the bolt going from rear housing..?What effects does this have? Power? Economy?How hard is it to fix this DIY and how much of a job is it?Any help is appreciated Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/89479-bolt-missing-please-help/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the nuts on turbo, manifold, need to be inspected regulary. Its not uncommon to lose bolts on exhaust side, these parts glow. It wont cost you that much I imagine.

I can only just get my finger behind there to feel that it's missing.

Just fit another stud or a bolt even would work. Pretty sure they are 8x1.25.
