Just curious how are the bolts that connect the turbo to the exhaust manifold supposed to be threded. I tried taking one of the bolts out and it wouldnt fully come up, it unscrewed and then it just spun. Then when i went to screw it back in, it just spun, it didnt get tighter???

Wow that's a strange problem. Could you look at the bolt and see if it was stripped or crossthreaded badly? That sounds like a really weird problem that would have something to do with the bolt threads, or the threads in the turbo being worn down, but I've never heard of the problem before.

Did you actually get the bolt out? Or is it still stuck partway in the turbo?

It's running again shitheads.

Think for yourself. Question authority does not always mean disagree with authority.

nope, it still uncsrews but not all the way. Then when i screw it back it goes back down, but it wont get very tight.

your going to have to give it a little leverage without bending it and try unscrew it. but you will most likely have to re tap that and get new bolts....... i went through this already
