Default does it matter if i have all 4 bolts onto the turbo to manifold?

i got 3 in but the 4th one i have to tighten and get from the outside or else when its on the car.. i can't get to it at all... but when i have it tightened on the outside.. i can't fit the turbo/manfiold both in at the same time because of my fludyn radiator. i'm trying to avoid taking the radiator out too... i put the copper high temp sealent around the turbo/mani..

Depending on what bolt your missing, you might have a manifold leak. Because on the inline pro manifold, I believe there are 2 holes that actually go right into the exhaust chamber.

You have to tighten all the bolts from the turbo to manifold off the car. Install as one piece.

You may have to take the radiator brackets off and lean the radiator up towards the passenger side.

yes, you need to make sure them bolts are very very tight, I learned it the hard way....

so you need to do it off the car, then insatll it as a whole turbo and manifold...

take out the AC fan, it'll help a lot and give you more room..
