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
Dave
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:

LMAO
holy shit....what is that from? A big rig?
what are you waiting for strap that big m-effer in!! haha!! that reminds me....when i went to drop off my turbo to have it rebuilt they asked me if i wanted a cart to bring it in....and i was like no...thinking what the hell for....then i get back into the shop and see some turbos that must have weighed close to a 100 pounds......just enormous....the compressor sides were like a foot in diameter...just unreal!
thats MY story of the day!
The Grand daddy turbos are from turbo diesel boats (5K hp :icon_eek:) :icon_eek:. About the size of a small person :laugh: .
Mines from a Detroit engine. I don't know from what series. I know its freaking huge and heavy. It going into a 90* engine. :icon_twisted:
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..
Ok well this went way off......
:laugh:
