@hustler: how often did you check for loose nuts and retighten them? My feeling is that once it's loose beyond a level it will destruct itself in no-time. If you keep it tight-ish you'll live longer. Waiting for the space age thread locker to arrive here.

After what I've gone though today with more shit breaking and dealing with this crap, I think I've realized that I must go above and beyond what works for normal people and go with v-bands. Hopefully BEGi can do this in a timely fashion. Am i really asking to much to have a turbo car that I don't have to disassemble everytime I track it? I don't mind little shit here and there, but taking the car appart incessantly, living in hotels doesn't make sense after already droping $4k on a turbo kit. What are the chances that someone would want my manifold and dp for $600? http://www.fastenal.com/web/showImag...=1244818923611 Product Details | 20gram Stick C5-A(R) Copper Anti-Seize | Fastenal Products | Fastenal It's good to 1800F, and you should be able to get this as an individual item in a store.

Are they shearing when you are removing them? If so, smear some of this on the new stuff. Apply like peanut butter:

Wow, sorry to hear about your ordeals hustler. It really does hurt me...knowing how much you put into your setup. Hopefully you can put in a little more and have something invincible.
It amazes me how many problems ya'll have. I don't track mine, but I drive pretty damn hard...hard enough to cause the DP to seperate completely at the clamped sleeve joint...and still no fastener probs. My exhaust is rigid as can be with a JEG's band style clamp and no flex joint. I hope I don't have join the misery of the loose bolt crew. |

so...um...do you suggest I use this and thread locker? I'd rather have them seize and hold than continue coming loose.
Besides, I don't think Threadlocker is spec'd for over 450F. https://tds.us.henkel.com//NA/UT/HNA...ile/266-EN.pdf Chris |

I thought just the nuts were coming loose and you were searing the studs on removal. Put it just on the studs then, easier to tighten them up then have to have them drilled out.

not seized, but really tough to break loose. Should I use anti-sieze on those or just bolt them back up.
Johnwag is on his way to little rock with truck. :( There is retribution in my future though. |

turbo gaskets?
|
hustler if you stop being a fucking transvestite pussy you can just take that shit out. Don't tell me your punny ass is no match for a 14 mm bolt?

Find a proper wrench and stop molesting them with ill fitting tools. Or Dremel them out as they need replacing any way.

Damn dude, I feel bad for you. I get way to frustrated for the smallest things I don't think I could handle that.
