i replaced that particular bolt with a stud... its much easier to put a nut on it than to try to get a bolt in there.

Next question, i found that the stock downpipe that comes with the Drag kit didnt line up perfectly for me, its pointing slightly towards the passanger side and angled up......does this mean my turbo is not lined up properly or is this beacuse the DP isnt right? i am going to the muffler shop tommrow so tell me what to do!

Put the pipe in the oil pan? I assume that you are talking about the drain plug. If that is it, then you need to connect it to the drain side on your turbo.

Todays question:

when plugging my fuel pump positive wire to the grey box that "clicks" when you turn your car on, it inserts to Pin #4, where exactly is this box under my dash? i cant turn it on cause i have no intake or exhaust manifold, and my fuel lines are in pieces!

yea Maxim.....the grey box is right above the ECU, its actually not grey. put your ear down there when you turn your battery on, you can find it.
