well i stripped the threads on my ssautoshit wastegate (right on the wastegate itself)... just my luck ... 5 of the 6 are still intact, but one is still messed up... you guys think i can just run with 5 of them on or do you recommend re-tapping the one that i stripped. if i re-tap though i run into problems of the head of a bolt to be too big and hit the wastegate....hmmmm... what you guys think?

 

so the threaded part in the body of the wastegate is stripped? and not the head of the hex bolt?

 

hmm 5/6 should be ok as long as they are tight

 

yup the body of the wastegate is stripped ... 5/6 hhmmm... you sure? :P

 

i concur

 

ok cool... i was kind of panicing there for a second. :P ... the other 5 that are on are tight with some threadlock so i guess i'm cool now... thanks guys.

 

Why dont you just go buy a Heli-coil kit and fix the hole? Its not that hard or a big deal.

 

I just took mine apart and it was a bitch to put back together....it has a blue spring in it that is stiff as ----. had to use my leg to compress the ******...anyone know what spring the blue one is? ( I paid him for a 6psi spring)

 

yeah i think that's why i stripped the body of the wastegate making me put the hex bolt in at an angle ... i might look into a heli-coil kit... how much do they cost and where can i get them? my dad said we got one, but his *** don't even remember where he put it. :P (by thway i got the one with the 11.6 psi spring supposedly, but it's green and people are saying that's 8.7 psi) oh well... guess i'll make a mbc like i did on my last setup

 

man you put ur ---- on already? i thought i was gonna help you haha. hit me up on a PM for my number, i wanna check out ur ----.
