Manifold to turbo problem
So guys. After a long looking at why I wasn't getting boost I realized it was that my cast manifold isn't all the way on my turbo. It must have come loose and left a gap big enough to watch blue flames come out of. So found out why I have no boost. Anyway. Does anyone know what size bolts they are? To hold on the exhaust manifold onto the turbo. I'm missing two of them and have no idea the size. Thanks in advance.

The turbo does not have threads. It's the manifold that is threaded. Every manifold may have different threads. There's no way of really knowing especially if you don't even know what kind of manifold you have. But the thread pitch is most likely 10 by 1.25 or 10 by 1.5. I know the inline pro log manifold as well as the generic rev hard style manifolds are 10x1.25.

Edit: or does the bolt go through the bottom and just thread into the mani?

Good luck with it....mine kept backing out on my Full-Race mani
The only way I got mine to keep from backing out, was to go longer on the bolts..thread all the way thru the mani and put a nut on the end.
Grade 8 bolt -> Nord Lock washer -> grade 8 washer -> thread thru mani -> grade 8 washer -> Nord Lock washer -> grade 8 nut
Nord Lock washers are worth getting as well

Does anyone know the length generally for them on a T3?
