Sooooooo im finally gearing up for my stage 2 set up and upon close inspection noticed this:


Sooooo.....what now. lol is there a fix for this my friends or am i forced replacing bigger parts?

 

Soad that in PB blast and it should come out. You can find a new stud at the dealer.

 

i have one of these if you have problems getting the stud off



new stud is $7 at dealer

 

Ok. Thank God i was Stressing just now.

 

Stud will be at dealer, NAPA or anyplace that sells "Dorrns" replacement parts/bolts.

You just need to know the proper size.

 

god is telling you to repla..... upgrade your turbo..

 

That stud puller may come in handy. Lol u guys kick *** as usual. As much as i want new turbos lol i want to keep my car alive long enough to amass cash to perform my motor project lol

 

It would be stupid for him to upgrade his turbo when he doesnt even know what his current turbo does. He is 100% stock and without tuning with a downpipe and all that jazz... it would be careless to throw money at something if he doesnt even know what he is starting out with.

Get the stud puller and a new stud... youll have that baby running in a matter of no time.

 

makes you wonder how it got that way in the first place.
I need to replace my studs/nuts. Seems like they arent staying tight over time.

 

Yeah that would make life easier . And i wonder too how that happened.

 

Replacing a stud on your turbo is very easy. I had to replace one on my turbo earlier this year when I had to change my DP for smog. Luckily I had an old turbo laying around that I was able to pull a stud off of.

I threaded two standard nuts onto the stud, tightened them together (Jam nut style), lined the sides of the nuts up and used a standard socket to remove and install the stud.
Luckily my damaged stud wasn't totally stripped like yours so I was able to use the jam nuts to remove that as well, but it looks like a stud puller will need to be used on yours. However this isn't that big of a deal so don't stress out, I found that the studs actually came out rather easily, hopefully yours will too.

 

I had a similar problem with the nuts on the downpipe.
I got all the stuff off in no time besides one nut on the stud.
Pb blaster in all of its glory couldnt even help.
I ended up nearly rounding the head off of the nut until I called around and picked up some aerokroil penetrant.
Heat wouldnt even loosen the nut. Id hate to have to extract the stud tho.
A 2 hour downpipe job took me 2 full days lol.

Aerokroil to the rescue for frozen bolts and nuts.

I actually need to do it all again too cause I want to replace my helix dp with an invidia divorced and put the stock gasket back in as I dont trust the remflex on the downpipe to turbo connection.

Thank god for copper antisieze too!
