Brendan Donating Members 19 Member For: 16y 11m 29d Gender: Male Location: Central QLD Posted 31/10/12 11:59 PM Share Posted 31/10/12 11:59 PM So I noticed an exhaust sound coming from somewhere around the footwell, initially thought it was the exhaust but after looking at it last night noticed there was a gap between the turbo and manifold and 3 of the bolts where missing and the 4th was sitting there very loosley.Basically my question is, is there any way to get these new 'double ended bolts' (not sure what they are exactly called) I got from ford in without havin to remove the entire turbo? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have some stage 8 nuts, inconel studs and some nordlock washers for the head to manifold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any recommendations for replacement to avoid this happening again? Also what is thread pitch? Might just pull one out and take to shop to match anyway.
