Hey folks,
I noticed I have exhaust soot at the turbo pedestal where it connects to the exhaust turbine housing from the top two bolt bosses (holes). It appears there are four(4) bolts that are supposed to hold the housing to the pedestal but I can only see two at the bottom. I have done some research on here and from some pictures it looks as if there should be two twelve point bolts in the top two holes of the pedestal into the exhaust housing, is that correct? Because I dont have them or they are recessed, but that don't seem right. If anybody has pictures or can guide me to a site that has an accurate schematic so I can determine what I need before this things comes off and eats my turbo it would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Nick,
Thanks for the link to your previous post. I don't know why it did not show up on the search I did, I guess I'm just stupid sometimes. Quick question, are the top bolt heads exposed for a twelve point wrench or socket and plainly visible (when there)?

It has great info and I need to talk with Clay on some items anyway so I'll find out about getting some or all the stuff from him.

Thanks for the quick response.

 

I used a twelve point box end wrench with a "helper" to get to 40ftpounds of torque.
