Re: Suggestions for a fuckup?
Thanks for the suggestions, it's given me the oppertunity to post something you wouldn't normally read....
After attempting many of the suggestions here (or the ones that I had the means to try) Here are the official results of those experiements:
Its broke off below the surface.
It's a 5 bolt flange....
if it leaks i'll fix it, but until then
4 out of 5 bolts mounted flush, with a gasket and not leaking ain't bad.
Acctually mounted the downpipe onto the housing BEFORE installing back in the car just to make sure it was tight.
Perhaps something not many self-respecting mechanics would admit out loud but then again it's my car and not a customers so I have that option right?
Besides...this is HMT......if your willing to use PVC pipe to hook up an intercooler, then i know damn well your willing to leave out a bolt if you have to.
