Put it back together and have had no issues.


thank you ben

now that you mention it, I have noticed that the bolt closest to the compressor outlet does go through just slightly, I'll have to seal that up before I install mine.

boost leak test the turbo before it goes on the car is my advice.

I personaly would use rtv on the bolts instead of loc-tite as Ive had bolts freeze in the aluminum housing and snap . But thats just my opinion .
