well I'm test fitting everything and come to find out that there is no way in hell I can get a screw through this hole. It's just to tight of a fit. I can't really think of any good resolutions other than bashing the **** out of the pipe and make it work . or just cutting two parallel cuts through the flange so i can just slide a screw through. but doesn't that compromise the seal? Any helpful hints are very welcome. thnx

 

a shorter bolt maybe?

 

also if you thinking run studs from the exhaust housing and up. Not working allready tried that. nah shorter won't work either. Tried using a 16mm bolt thats the smallest i can use, and nothing.

 

stud

 

tried it, not working

 

cut it, as long as the bolt still has pressure on the inside of the flange it should be alright.

How doesn't the stud work? Does the nut not even fit in there? Otherwise just start threading the nut as the stud is coming through.

 

went to checker and got those stepdowns and it worked great.. no seriously a staright up 8m stud was not workin its a a/c compatiable down pipe so the bend is tight as hell. that and the stud was too long and was hitting the downpipe. thnx for all the help guys . that was quick.lol

 

lol you got them at checkers! i wouldn't of thought they would have them.

 

local checkers ftw!!

 

not to sound dumb but what i did was use a short bolt which has been said but then you take a torch and get it cherry red and put a dimple in it!!!!

 

slot the hole mine used to be like that works fine

 

I just used a stud on mine.

 

who made the dp?

 

stud!!!! if no solution just dont bolt it but make sure the rest are, youll have a little exhaust leak

 

what i did was cut a little portion out, screwed the bolt into the turbo, then slipped the dp on the bolt then just kept tightening. seemed to work fine

 

I would have said slotting the flange like mentioned or a shorter stud??? But whatever worked for you

 

yeaaaaaaa, slot the flange lol
