ok, I made my oown manifold, looks great and fits great, but I went to do my final install of it tonight and the passenger side bottom bold doesn't tighten down tight enough. It ahs like less than a 1/16th of an inch to tighten (one full turn of the bolt) what can I do about this? I've checked to see if the turbo is hitting on anything, but everything looks great. Do you think that if I double gasket it, it would maybe work?

 

how would they fix it??

 

resurface the flange side till its flat.

 

i'll do that, thanks for the help.

 

sorry to steal da post,, but how much does that cost?

 

don't know, memorial day, everyone is closed

 

Whatever it costs, its probably worth it. The first turbo Corolla had a warped flange and I ran it like that, sounded like ----, black soot all over the engine bay... Get it resurfaced and you'll be happy with it!

 

i'm gonna have to get it resurfaced, it took me a lot of hrs making it and about $75.

 

I'm going to do the same with mine. Hackish on this board made mine and the drivers side is off a fraction of a mm. So we are going to get it machined as well. The flange we used is pretty thick, so machining a fraction of a mm would be fine.
