Ok, this will be the third time pulling off my drag manifold. The bold on the manifold that hold up the turbo keeps comming loose! the bolt is the one behind the manifold near the engine to the left if your looking from the front of the car. It keeps shaking loose! how did u guys fix this problem??? Plus i can't even reach in there when the manifold is off the car, if have to clock the turbo, any suggestions on tools to use?!?!? and last but not least, will a flex pipe on the drag manifold help?!?! to reduce the shaking loose of the bolt?

Much help is needed, thanks, mark

 

I highly suggest you don't use loctite since its an exhaust part. Are you sure the flange isn't warped? That would cause a corner nut to back off quick. You could try lock washers.

I am currently u sing lock nut washers too...the manifold keeps comming apart from the turbo. I checked the manifold and the flange on the turbo it seems fine. any more suggestions?? I getting sick of this whole drag deal

 

Be sure to re-tighten the manifold bolts after it is ran a couple times. I know its just crappy cast metal, but it heat stress still moves it a bit.

A flex pipe would probably help.

 

anybody else have this problem with their drag manifold?? if so how did u fix it?

 

What about using studs???
