^^WTF?!
I told them EXACTLY what needed to be done...shouldn't have been more than an hour to get the UP in and then they just needed to tighten/put back everything!
Today they needed to buy:
1. 3/8 Drive Breaker Bar
2. 14 mm SIX POINT socket
3. Bolt to close up the bung on the UP.
4. Dremel or other metal cutter for the manifold heatshield.
5. WD 40...that lube they had wasn't penetrating that well.
...they were pretty much home free after a visit to home depot.
Hope it gets done soon...remember guys...you gotta nut up to "git r dun" :banana:

Hmm .. would've cut the heatshield covering the manifold for easier removal later, but didn't have any cutting tools available so the only choice was to remove the front o2. You guys took the sensor bracket out already so that was easier then it would have been without, among other things..
The 3 stubborn uppipe bolts were pretty stuck, but tell em "F*CK Y( o )U **** " and they moved.
Is it possible to rig a combination of tools to use an impact gun up there? I bought some 1/2" impact sockets and 1/2" breaker bar but the sockets were a bit too fat. Kinda hard to reach right beside the turbo, I felt like I was going to break my puny little craftsman 3/8" socket.
I believe all he needs is a 2.2K resistor for the EGT input since he plugged the uppipe bung.
