JX turbo bolts advice

Post by Sagemagoo »

JX turbo fitted onto an AAZ by 4 bolts, two different sizes. Anyone know what combination of sizes they are - I'm thinking 2 small and 2 large?

Thanks

Thanks - gave them several a good soakings in plusgas and was lucky enough to get them out in one piece. New turbo, new studs with copper nuts and all back in and looking good (took me two and a half hours of swearing cos the oil feed pipe wouldn't fit on before I realised you can swivel the turbo housing...doh!).

Bit of a pig to refit the drain pipe to the sump - looks very stretched...
