does anyone use crush washers to bolt their turbo to their manifold? thanks!

 

I use a lock washer on each nut side of the bolt.

 

the manifold is threaded so i can use only one on each bolt. still good right?

 

Yeah, that will work also. I was thinking my flange wasnt threaded for some reason but it is. I had a brain fart for some reason. LOL I actually put lock washers on the bolt head side of the bolts just as youre wanting to do. I used to also put washers and nuts on the bolts after the bolts are put into the flange for extra safety, just on the bottom of the flange but this isnt needed. Thats what I was thinking about when I first posted. LOL Also put a little antiseize on the bolt threads too so they dont get locked into the flange from the heat.

 

thanks man!!!!!

 

No problem man.

 

I put lock washers on mine, and when i had to replace the bolts they were completely flat. They had lost their "locking" capability due to the heat.
