Here's my prob. The other day I installed my new Corksport exhaust. My car ended up with a exhaust leak where the d/p meets the turbo. I used the stock nuts and gasket (note there were no washers present). I ordered a new gasket thinking this would fix my prob. Well I went to install the new gasket now I can't get the top nut off the bolt nearest the fenderwall. I think I over tightened it when I install the d/p to see if the leak would go away. The other two came off no prob....did I just screw my self and ruin the bolt that threads to turbo? I noticed the threads on the bolt only go soo far. What should I do? Do I need to replace that part of the turbo? I put washers on the other two bolts and tightened and still a leak. I'll be pissed if I find out the d/p flange isn't flat...

Did Ju Let It Soak In Pb Blaster...keep Spraying It

when you installed the dp, did you thread it in by hand first? or did you go straight for the wrench/ratchet? if you did it without forcing it, it should come off..

When I took the old d/p off it came off easy. I did hand thread it. I'm sure I didn't crosss thread it and I did spray it with PB.

Well I got a breaker bar and PB blast. The nut did loosen a few turns than wouldn't go no more.? Just seems odd. I used an open wrench and counted the threads. The bolt in the turbo didn't move. I managed to tighten it a lil' more, but I'm still back to square one. Which is a small leak. Where as to yest. I had a big leak. Not as annoying as yest. though where all you could here is a tick tick from inside the car. I dunno. I feel like I might break the bolt or strip the nut. I might have to live with this.
