Hey everyone.. after rebuilding my motor GA16DET. the car has since been running very well..
recently ive been having a hard time wit the 4 Bolts connecting the turbo manifold to the turbo itself.. i have replaced them 3 times so far. i have used lock washers with grade 8 bolts. and they hold up for a lil bit.. but will eventually loosen up and fall out.
any ideas on how i can keep the bolts tight so that im not loosing power
