So I have a stainless inline pro log mani with a precision 5857 turbo that I've been driving around now for a month since the build was completed. In this period one of the bolts on the drivers side front, keeps backing out of the manifold, opening up the turbo where it attaches to the mani. My mechanic even went as far as to take everything off the car and machined the exhaust housing on the turbo flat so it wouldnt have any contact points that may cause it to start backing out, but that however only lasted 5 days before it backed out another time. Does anyone have suggestions for how to keep a bolt in this manifold?

saftey wire is your friend.

explain...

use a locking nut on the back side and put lock tight on it

I've done both, problem is the heat makes the lockwasher just go flat and hurts things more because it basically removes 2 threads from the bolt. Locktite will burn off, unless there is something ridiculously high temp tolerable.

safety wire it and be done with it... they'll never back out

Can you explain safety wiring?

Edit: found it, seems like a good idea.

search on google for stover nuts they are anti vibration and they are not made of nylon
