F6 Gt35 Turbo

[ahh 33 s2]

hey guys girls

my mates F6's turbo started ratteling the other day, so had a look and notice a few loos bolts that seem to help connect the exhaust housing to the centre cartridge where the iol and water feeds are,

we have since replaced 4 of the 6 bolts and turbo seems to be fine

the bottom two bolt i couldnt get too, one is missing completly and the other that is near the oil drain appears to be snapped as i tediously tightened mm at a time (killied me) only to realise after about half an hour it was making no progress,

obviously leaving the turbo in this way is not going to be good, however my mate has started driving it again.. and the rattle has gone and seems to be running fine

also i took the oil and water feeds off to access some of the bolts. im hoping i put them back on properly

i lined the hole up in the bolt with the feed line, seemed to be common sense, is this right??? please say yes

so after all that. should i advise him to stop driving get the turbo off to a specialist to get checked out, or justget the turbo off and try replace the missing bolt and do something with the one that seems to be snapped

i have actually already said if it was my car i wouldnt be driving it, but some ppl cant be told

help would be great, thanks dan

Bolts coming loose on the turbo side of those engines is a common problem.

Even though its not ideal, one snapped bolt wont cause you too much dramas.

thanks for that dave, although its missing two

can u confirm if i have put the oil water feeds back on properly

cheers

what do you mean line the holes up ? was the housing completely detached ? if the dump and i/c pipes are still on it should be sitting where it wants. replace all 6 bolts the stockers are crap and use new copper washers on the feeds.

yeh i just want to no is there a right or wrong way to put the oil water lines back one to the turbo,

[NYTSKY]

Oil at the top.

The feed for the oil and water wrap around the front of the engine. Hard to get those to mixed up.

[ahh 33 s2]

hahaha ok, i think i am being a little mis understood,

i def have them in the right place, just the position of the bolt for both the oil/water feeds,

[NYTSKY]

Position of the bolt???

Bolt goes through the banjos, tighten.

yeh so it doesnt matter where the hon in the bolt ends up in relation to the bango

Nah man, just as long they are tight.
