Re: turbo nut

I'd try to get a stock replacement. its a whacky thread, i think metric if i remember right. and if you match the thread pitch/dia with a nut at the hardware store, chances are the hex head is gonna be big like 19mm.

Re: turbo nut

it would help to know what nut, theres a couple on there....

If its the band clamp, just take the bolt to the store (LOWES is good) and match the threads with a LOCK NUT. dont drive it w/o that nut/bolt... could end in a bad day

Re: turbo nut

If the nut you are talking about is the one holding the actual housing on the turbo, then you could probably find that one at the hardware store. I was talking about the dp to turbo nuts.

I think he means the studs going to the DP.

I took the studs out and replaced them with allen head stainless bolts.
Makes getting the turbo in and out a lot easier not having to pull the DP back an inch for clearance of the studs.
