Boost leak question, passenger side turbo coupler ( bottom )
Posted by: elcid

Guys,

Anyone here got pics or know how to tighen the bottom bolt on the passenger side turbo coupler?


I removed the battery and easily tighten the top bolt of the coupler, but the bottom one is facing toward the engine ( Who came up with that idea! ) I cannot see a way to tighen it... tried multiple ways, extensions, finally gave up when I blew my back out and develop a leak myself! LOL

a few aspirins later and here I am typing up the post in defeat.

The driver side coupler was a walk in the park!

My best suggestion is to remove the clamp(likely easier than tightening it) and turn it around. This would give you easy access to it.

Hope this is of some help.

darn!

Honestly, I didnt think of that at all!


:)

I now feel like a certified Noob! I could have installed over 3 clamps in the amount of time I wasted trying to tighten the bottom bolt, LOL


thank you!
