They will just keep coming out.REPLACE the nut and studs with brand new ones from ford..Retail price for the 4 studs and 4 copper like nuts is under $30Problem solvedBy the way, replaceing the 2 front ones top and bottom might be a bit difficult, top one has a water line in the way, the bottom one, you need a 4" extension shaft with a slight wiggle on the end (a uni wont fit in there).Everytime I change actuator and port wastegate, I replace all those nuts and studs to combat them coming out again, which they do.Ohh and I read above someone mentioned something about a turbo to manifold gaskit. Sorry mate, none exist on the xr6turbo, the only gaskit is the dump pipe to turbo.

(its a thin metal gasket, which you can see between the turbo and manifold)Do you have a recomendation for replacing the Manifold bolts (12 into head).I purchased one a few weeks ago from Fraud, and its different to what I have, it has 4 notches in the back of the bolt head, with matching notches in the washer, which is spring loaded and has a number of teeth to bite into the manifold.Wondering if its worth buying the rest and doing the lot with these or are there better available?Gav Edited 10/03/08 03:47 AM by tab Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/43254-loose-turbo-bolts-again-and-again/page/4/#findComment-643887 Share on other sites More sharing options...

JA2473 Member 62 Member For: 17y 2m 24d Gender: Male Posted 21/08/08 12:24 PM Share Posted 21/08/08 12:24 PM I take it by reading this thread there SHOULD be 4 bolts from turbo to manifold. Maybe I,m lucky and only have to tighten the 2 ???? What a pain the the arse.

None of my turbo bolts were loose, no bolts on the dump but I did find two a little loose at either end of the exhaust manifold.Pretty easy job took me about half a hour. Also had a bit of a look at the turbo inlet as well. Perfect condition. All the fins were in good nick and there was next to no play in the shaft. Pretty good I reckon for a car that's done around 100k Edited 22/08/08 02:21 AM by revheadrobbo Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/43254-loose-turbo-bolts-again-and-again/page/4/#findComment-721691 Share on other sites More sharing options...
