does anyone know where i can get a stud that joins from the turbo to the elbow? mines come out and is making it blow quite badly! t3 turbo by the way

 

Phone up any turbo specialist (turbo dynamics/cr turbo's etc) and they should be able to send you one! As they get so hot they need to be the right metal, they can be a nightmare for shaking loose or snappng though especially if you have no flexi section in the exhaust! On my old turbo i had the housing redrilled/tapped to m10 and this helped no end.

 

If you find anywhere let me know, Ive spent the last year trying to source a set!

 

i couldnt find any either!!! i have now got a flexi section in my exhaust cos i was getting fed up with em snapping or shaking out!!

 

why not go to a fasteners place and they should be able to source something suitible for you.

 

Give Universal Turbo's a shout. I sourced a set from them a year or so back.

The next time I have to deal with that joint I'm going the way of drilling and tapping for 10mm bolts.
Sooo much better than those helicoils.

 

spoken to turbo dynamics and they have them in stock at Ł2.50 each just wasnt sure what size i wanted so ordered both the 45mm and 40mm length ones.
cheers for ya help boys

 

nice one, do they supply the nuts for them also? arent they them self threading type? do you have to apply any special thread lock? when you get the studs can you tell us which is the right length, cheers Sean

thanks

yeah am sure they supply the nuts mate. am not sure if they are self threading i got told to take the exhaust elbow off screw in the new stud to the turbo then place back the elbow, fairly simple i rekon! dont think you have to bother with thread lock am not bothering, il let you know which is the right size when they come, hopefully tommorrow.
