400WHPITR

I took off the turbo for an engine rebuilt and noticed that the bolt in the top of the pic on the exhaust side of the snail has fallen off and that side of the turbo is kinda loose and can be moved with some force. I was wondering what kind of bolts should I use and what torque should the bolts be tightened to. Please help. From James.

i would suggest high temp bolts with a lockwasher.

you will definently need high temperature bolts. as for the sizing im not sure, but your best bet would to take it to a bolt/screw store and let them measure/fit the bolts that you would need into the turbo for correct length/fitment.

ive seen worse. a t3/to4 had the turbine held on with only 1 bolt, all the others had worked themselves loose and fallen off. the turbine wheel was worn down from the housing moving around. same thing with the manifold to head fasteners, they can work themselves loose too. double check everything....periodic maintence is a good idea.

Yeah, they sound good, but I think someone is talking out their ***.

Being that the housing is cast i would jsut use the red lock tight, i think its 252. It shouldnt come out then.

anyways...haha my friend is missing one of these, hes just realllllly lazy to find a new one.

The higher the grade the stonger the bolt, but you really don't need a strong bolt here. I think they normally use grade 8 just because that's normally referred to as automotive grade. You might just want to replace them all with stainless so they don't get all rusted to hell.
