Well im still waiting for my turbo to arrive from UPS, but i went out today to get new bolts for the DP to Turbine locations.

i broke 2 off when i removed them last time and they were SS bolts Jeff M supplied with his Crossover, anyway i went with some M8-1.25 Hex Cap bolts (Allen Key) style ones.

for those who have removed the bolts from that area you know that getting a socket on some of the lower ones is a royal pain and by using these and a hex socket and ratchet will be much easier  :icon_wink:

those Hex cap bolts and lock washers willl do the job nicely im sure.

and to ensure they don't bust off if i have to remove them again i got some Loctite C5-A Copper Anti-Seize  :icon_biggrin:

thats my story of the day

Yeah I thought of doing that when installing my x-over in the spring, but alas I just used the stainless bolts that Jeff supplied with some antiseize.

Think some anti-seize will work on the stock bolts for this one.  :icon_twisted:  :laugh:

Looks like a turbo out of a Series 60 detroit. Good for lots o boost, if you can get the right exhaust pressure to spool it up..
