Doing an oil change today and noticed one of the fitting on my wastegate has come loose.

So I need a new banjo bolt. Does anyone have the specs for the banjo bolts on a Tial V44? I'm guessing they are not metric and a certain size is required so they don't penetrate too deep in the the wastegate body.

 

M10x1.0 or 1/8 npt

 

Oh, so metric after all!

Cheers

 

Does anyone happen to know where the side air connection screws into the wastegate?

I know you're thinking "he has the car there, on jack stands, why doesn't he just look". Problem is with the LoveFab V1 Mini-me manifold the wastegate mounts under the manifold and above the engine mount. It's a pain in the arse to fit and extremely hard to access. I've looked from above ahead of the mount, under infront and behind the mount and felt around blindly with my fingers and for the life of me I can't locate the threaded hole.

 

 

Anyone?

 

i think its on the back side of the housing. right underneath your compressor outlet according to your picture towards the front of the car

 

That's the part I can see the most and it doesn't appear to be there.

I'm guessing in the picture it would be between the exhaust flanges and the pressure bell.
