Atomic do a stud or bolt kit with locks so they don't undo. Otherwise you can always drill bolt heads and lockwire them.

Can anyone please give me any tips on fitting the Nizpro kit, it has 4x s/steel studs, 1x turbo gasket and 4x lock nuts. The kit was $212.00 and I dont want to screw it up. Also any info on re-installing the turbo in regards to sealent use would be great.

Just remove old studs and install new ones, fit gasket and then turbo, nuts and tighten.

Hows about a pic of the kit.

You can butcher the old studs as your not using them again. Fine thread goes into the manifold.

I'm having trouble putting a photo on here. I think I spoke to you a while ago about trouble I was having with my turbo on the forum. I removed my old turbo and found cracks in 3 of the turbo exhaust housing bolt holes so I bought a replacement turbo from ebay that come off a typhoon ute, the seller stated that it had been ported with upgraded flapped but the wastegate hole looks to be unmodified although the flapper is upgraded and has a tag. I took the original turbo off about 3-4 months ago and now want to put it all back together.

A few specific questions I have:

Do I need to lock 2 nuts on the turbo/exhaust manifold studs to install them tightly? and does the same apply for the exhaust/ dump pipe to turbo studs?

Should I use locktite/sealant on any areas upon installing the turbo? (I noticed some sealent on the oil return line from the turbo to the sump).

I understand that the turbo runs very high temperatures, I am installing an Earls oil supply line with filter and was wondering if any loctite should go on the new oil line connection threads that go into the turbo body.

Although I have searched on the forums I cant find a good step by step on re-installing the turbo.

I really appreciate any info/tips on the re-installation.

Yea just use 2 nuts (not the ones supplied so they stay in good nick) to install the studs. Installing the turbo is reverse of the taking out that you've done, it is pretty simple.
