Exhaust housing bolt conversion thing lol
 
Hi peeps, was just wondering whats involved in converting the normal nut and bolt job which holds the exhaust housing onto the turbo into bigger bolts....some of mine have snapped off again (about the 4th time now)

also what sort of bolts should be used?

thanx for any input :top: :top:

cheers for the reply mate...im guessing ill have to rethread the exhaust housing to...hmmmm something that i think ill do if the current 2 studs need drilling out...failing that i heard GumGum on the threads works a treat

any one else have any input on this?

What exhaust you running out of interest??

I think lack of flexi joint is the main problem for bolts loosening/slackening off. but not to say it would resolve it.
