1)take like nut from other stud
2)Go over to home depot
3)Match nut
4)buy and take home new product
5)install

now you know, and knowing is half the battle.

 

already tied said separate nut. It does not thread properly
thanks for the suggestion....

 

your buying the wrong thread pitch. make sure you buy metric and not american sizing.

Go to Ace Hardware or something a little more specialized than home depot. They will surely have it.

 

+1. Can't tell you how many times I've wrenched on my dub or rex and had this problem

 

I havent bought anything yet. There are two studs on the bottom of the turbo to connect the downpipe. I used the nut that fits on the right side looking at the engine on the left stud and it will not fit, as in it does not thread properly...
I have already moved on and put everything back together.

My other problem is now I need the oem bolts that attach the downpipe to the exhaust. The bolts I was using with my megan racing downpipe and borla hush exhaust is to big


In other news some ******* broke my driver side window last night and took ****ty GPS from the center console.

 

Almost fixed. He got hooked up with some temporary bolts to hold the downpipe to the exhaust.

Eventually he'll need to replace that turbo stud because we tried to put on a nut with the wrong threads...... bad move. Everything else is holding together fine for now. Live and learn.

 

wouldnt you just need to replace the studs instead of the entire turbo?

 

Use the ones from your stock DP that connects the two pieces together.

 

"turbo stud" = "stud"

 

this thread reminds me of Lance Armstrong for some reason.
