fwiw - I used nordlock washers (from fastenal) on my new turbo install and reassembly and they haven't budged. I have no idea why that fastenal was so expensive. I paid .88 for the 8s and 1.09 for the 10s. You can also order the same design washer from McMaster- believe it's called a stepped locking washer. Are the copper nuts reusable?

hustler: AUDI DEALERSHIP. walk in. say you want 8x1.25 turbo nuts. haggle. walk out with deal-boner.
I think the coppers are reusable. at least a couple times. I have. btw, I did replace my studs at one point which may help the loosening issue. in any case, I love my stud install/removal tool. |
I'm assuming the nuts are copper coated - correct? Does the copper act like a high temp thread locker?
|
coated yes. beats me. might act as an anti-seize.

Great find for cheap. Hopefully that place doesn't rape you on shipping. I'll definitely archive that link.

Ouch shipping is like 11 bux.....although we can buy a bunch of them and then split em.
21.16 for 30 shipped to my house....not horrid. What do they run per at the dealer? |
