I looked at my car today and noticed one of my bolts backed off on the exhuast side of the turbo where the downpipe adaptor is at. So I tried to re-tighten it and it gets only so far and then it stops. I didnt go any further because I dont want to break it off. Any suggestions? I was going to pull the turbo out and then remove the elbow and see whats up?

 

Have you tried just taking the bolt all the way out and look at the threads?

 

Well I pulled the downpipe adaptor off and found the culprit, the threads on one of the bolts was messed up so I fixed it with a tap/die set and now its all good. So this topic can be deleted now..
