bradenman1 · 02-26-2010, 02:57 AM

I emailed toyotapartszone last night still no reply... The part numbers matched what was on the bags they sent but the part in the bag must be wrong i guees. thats the only thing i can think of. i was going to order them through HPF and see if those fit, but im not sure i should i may get the same part again...

The diagram im refering to is the EPC. On the the Toyotapartszone site the EPC picture is there while you order so you can look at what you are "SUPPOSED" to get when they mail it to you.

I'd look up the thread pitch for the studs and then take one to a hardware store and use their gauge (or even just go through the metric nuts) to find out what the thread pitch of the stud you have is. Do the threads in the turbo housing look like they may be mangled at all?

Its an m10 1.25 pitch. the threads looked good except for the one I tried to force the stud into. I called powerfab and they are going to figure it all out. He said hell get me new hardwar. Either new studs or bolts that will work

You want studs; More accurate torque and higher clamping force... plus, if one side seizes up you can still get the turbo off.

I didn't even think about that. Ill have to call power fab on Monday and see if he can get studs for sure. Thanks for that lol I'm sure you just saved e a nightmare and a turbo. If the bolts seizes id be screwed

Nah, you'd just be crying and sweating with bloody knuckles by the time you do get it off... But there are reasons auto makers (not just Toyota) prefer studs.

well i have a numatic impact so maybe not the bloody knuckles lol. i would be really pissed if the threads backed out of the turbow like the exhaust manifold studs did.

what exhaust system would you guys prefer? i know a full 3" is recomended i may be able to have a straight pipe exhaust made for me depending on the cost. If i did this just straight pipe exhaust would it harm anything with the engine? and how much more power would it provide than a normal name brand cat back with a DP and high flow cat?

im still just browsing options for upgrades, i made a thread to get some opinions but it is failing pretty bad so far lol

im for sure getting an apexi intake and if my raidator doesnt clean out well enough after i have it flushed ill be investing in some type of aluminum radiator, but i have no idea which brands to trust, or brands that actually provide a considerable upgrade in cooling vs. the stock one.
