A general word of advice: Copper-bearing anti seize compound is our friend. I had to pull the head on my engine after the turbo had been on for a couple of years, and the bolts came out perfectly. |
mine's a 12mm wrench for the DP nuts, and I have a 2.5" DP as well. I used the angled closed end of my wrench, it barely turns it, so it takes a while. Not too bad after I get it as tight as possible with my fingers though. That's the worst nut in the entire setup.

Thanks guys!!
I have to buy a couple of angled wrenches. I used a thin film of red high temperature RTV between the turbo and the manifold as a gasket but no antiseize on the bolts. Between the DP and the turbo I used metal leayered gasket. Guess tomorrow I'll go back and remove them one at a time and use AZ. I'll finish this freaking install some day :giggle: |
Great idea. That red RTV is good to 600* so you should be safe considering that's only 1000*f less than your exhaust temp.
