Damn wastegate bolt came off again...
Well the first time it came off I found it on the powersteering pump but this time its gone. I torqued it on pretty good last time so I duno what happened. Anyone know where I can get another one of these things? The leaking wastegate sounds so horrible I hate driving, sounds like my car is about to die and just barely making it around.

Why did the bolt come off? My bolts came loose all the time when the ring on the wastegate wasn't seated right therefore causing a major leak.

Home depot has that little drawer full of metric bolts.
Also, with the wastegate bolt off, did your car sound like a LAWNMOWER? Haha.
Also it causes for the turbo to spool up slow.

Re: Damn wastegate bolt came off again... (Tom)
tom you are so right the one over here is the same way. i tried 3 differnt home depots and i couldnt find the one i was looking for so then i just pulled off the exhaust manifold and wastegate and brought them to homedepot with me and a wrench and went to work, then needless to say one of them fell off so i used a little blue thread loc and never had a problem since...but then again the cars not running now anyway so lol i dunno
