Turbo downpipe nut torques

Featured Replies

As titled does anyone know how tight the 4 (extremely hard to get to) downpipe to turbo nuts should be?

 

Fitted a 3" decat and it sounds like I've got a slight blow at the turbo end but only on start up when the car is on choke for a minute or so.

 

Just need to know if its worth on my back again to torque the nuts up slightly more.

 

Oh and yes a new gasket was fitted

I had a blow once and it was actually coming from the gasket at the top of the turbo manifold where the 3 bolts are.  Also could be a crack in your turbo manifold.  After removing my turbo manifold and replacing I had both of these issues, most of the gaskets on the turbo manifold were shot and there was a crack right at the back of the manifold out of sight!   Also if you have one of those ebay 3" down pipe jobs(Which I have), I had to have the weld re-done on mine at the 4 bolt flange end.. because the weld was awful and cracked.
