Changing BHG. Anything else?

yes replacing the hoses in back should have been something i thought of right away. Haha. I already blew a cooling hose for my turbo. The whole shit was spraying out onto my headers and smokin like crazy. Thought i blew my HG again. lol. I suppose i could retorque them. why do i have to loosen them a bit again? cant i just set it to 90fp and have at her in the proper order?

I don't know all the reasoning behind it, just that all the better 7M mechanics whose opinions I trust (they generally know what they're talking about instead of just pulling figures and info out of the air) tend to recommend doing so. I think it may have something to do with the tensile characteristics of the bolts after they've been heat soaked a few times, but that's just a guess on my part.

i would just set to torque and go again on them, just as youd do if that car was all stock and hadnt blown yet.

Almost ready to retorque. I am also sea foaming the gas and oil right now and then before i change the oil im running some through the break booster to watch all the pretty white smoke. Also gonna change my spark plugs. One other thing i am curious about is where i might be able to get new splash shields for the wheel wells. The guy before me didnt replace any of the clips he broke when putting in the intercooler and the tire destroyed them.
