I've been searching around for an answer but no luck...my two lower studs are missing from my turbo (FP TD06-18g)... I bought it this way, and yes, my dp to turbo joint is leaking quite a bit...

I'm also missing the two turbo mounting brackets...I need some of those if anyone has any laying around.

Anyhow, anyone know right off hand what size studs our two lower turbo mounting points take?
If you know where to pick up some of these studs locally, please let me know.

Thanks in advance,

 

This information was posted on NASIOC...so don't quote me.

I'm going over to see Rick tomorrow to pick up some parts...

Nuts- hex flange, ~ $3 ea (subaru part 902370-29, nut)

studs- M10x37mm ~$1 ea, (subaru part 800910340, stud)

bolts- hex flange M10 x 40mm ~$10 for 25 bolts (subaru part 44015AC000, flange bolt)


Studs: M10x1.25, 40mm long (3 of them)
Bolts: M10x1.25, more than 40mm long? (2 of them)
Nuts: M10x1.25 (5 of them)

 

Rick, knows everything!!! But you might want to call as soon as they open. Some items might be in the warehouse which is in a different loacation. They only have Warehouse trips at certain times. All I am saying is call and make sure they have the parts at servco before you drive down there and have to wait.

 

If you don't find any let me know. I order a few extras when I ordered my turbo from FP.

 

^^^I should have did that....it wasnʻt really on my mind at the time

 

Yeah, I'll be sure to call Rick at 7:30am...

Alright, almost there...

 

Those brackets might be hard to get. I hope he has them.

 

i think the studs were 11 each when me and lorenzo picked one up for his other turbo before.

 

He had one of the brackets in stock, the other will have to be ordered...probably about 2 weeks...

More down time...but at least Rick is right on...he really knows his stuff.

Thanks for everyone's input.

 

turbo bracket? just tie wrap it into place.

I have never once put the small top bracket back on. That thing is a useless pain in the booty hole paperweight.

 

Hey Chad,

so you don't use either of the two turbo brackets? There is the bigger one near the passenger fender and the smaller one on the drivers side...are you saying you don't use either one? You mentioned "bracket" so are you just using 1 of the 2?

Right now, my car has a crack in the up-pipe due to the movement of the engine with the POS stock "gel filled" engine mounts...the engine and tranny are both supported with Cusco mounts now...but the damage has been done...I'm going to have to remove the up-pipe and have it re-welded...and at the same time, I'm going to throw on at least 1 if not both brackets to stabilize the turbo...

Your thoughts?
