d/p turbo stud torque specs

[Listers]

what are the torque specs on the turbo studs? doing the d/p install this saturday

Just tighten it as well as you can. You won't be able to get the torque wrench in there anyway. The space is too tight.

thanks...do these studs need any anti-seize?

 

[Eracer]

Most people say yes but I can tell you at the temps those studs see it won't last long at all.

I would put antiseeze on them anyways. It's helped me change out my dp after being on for a year. As for torque spec for the dp nuts, it's suppose to be 38-51 N*m or 29-37 ft*lbf according to the service manual.

There is a high temp anti seize, copper i think but not sure and yes you should. Be patient with install and you will be rewarded. If you have a Corksport you might need to open the flanges mount holes with a slightly larger drill bit if the flange warped after welding. I assume that has been fixed by Cork long ago though. Pm If you need any help! Good luck.
