My turbo to manifold is blowing slightly, do I need to replace the nuts when I refit it or do I need new ones? Also is there any thing I can put between the faces when I refit it to make it last a bit longer

 

apparently there is something that you can get from Garret but 99% dont have anything between ther due to the extreme heat. have you tried tightening the nuts?

 

i used to have a collapsable gasket in between but now i use
nothin, i put new nuts on but that was because
thay looked prettier, lol

 

gonna take the whole thing off and clean it up mate. Can I reuse the nuts though?

 

I had same prob with mine kept doing up the nuts tight but didnt solve it so got a gasket for it and its now mint just now ive got a crack in manifold

 

Its such a bitch of a job, ALWAYS use new nuts. It's not worth the agro!!

 

I fitted mine with some of fords finest nuts and locking washers they didnt have em in stock though

 

As said, there were locking washers originally under the nuts, so I can't really see them coming loose.

 

i also got this problem with mine, looked at it the other day and the nut was almost off!!! one of them is a bit of a bitch to get to the init? i may take it all off and give it a good old clean! sould solve the problem,
