How the hell can you remove 2 of the Nuts let alone the studs?

Anyways, Car is back together minus a down pipe and is not connected to an exhaust!

It started though, nice n loud! Need to try and get it somewhere to get a down pipe made to fit it now though

And then i will be able to pressure everything up and make sure there are no leaks!

P.s. The new DUmps look awsome on the car though

It seems, The Studs that were in my Turbos were different from the factory ones, plus 1 was already broken so the rear turbo was only using 3 nuts/bolts to hold it on.

Im guessing that mine have been changed before possibly. otherwise, why would the turbo have a broken missing stud?

So the studs on mine were very short, only really short enough that there was no overhanging thread with the standard dumps. The NEW dumps have a slightly thinner Flange, so more thread is available.

The 2 brackets ,1 under each turbo. Do these HAVE to be refitted? Or have people been fine leaving them out. Asking only because the back bracket cant be mounted and cant find the front bracket.

hahaha. good luck getting that one on.... i had the same bloody problem, i think the point of it is to relieve the manifold from a bit of the weight, but i cant see no harm in leaving it of, as long as every other bracket goes on......

good luck
