tighten?? lol, that ---- is jb welded in there only. besides, i let it dry for a whole day and used a spoon to mix the exact amounts so that it would dry to it's full potential. it's pretty ------- strong.

davcivic: i'll be ready, don't worry. i'm looking for a new turbo/manifold to buy right now, hopefully have it in by next week.

but at least your intercooler looks good ;D
i had the same prob with my radaitor so i grinded the metal down by the headlight and moved the brackets so i could move it over 1 1/2"-2",fit fine after that.

what i meant was, once i tighten the other fitting on to the nipple on the pan that jb weld cracked.

it tok me 13 hours to do my turbo install on my Si. For my oil return i used jbweld... but for some reason it kept leaking >:( . i was pretty mad, but i got everything running... too bad it only lasted a month and a half :'( ...

the whole set up is just bad luck to me. and i'm honestly a little skeptical on the cracks in the exhaust housing, a couple of them look pretty deep, and i just figure now is the time to get rid of it if i'm going to at all.

as soon as i find antoher turbo/manifold to buy, then as soon as it gets to me :P i'll prolly pick up a bmc mani, but it will take up to two weeks, that means two more n/a weeks with a fmic, all the ricers laugh at me.......

go get a new oil pan. i wouldnt have jb weld anywhere on the inside of my oil pan, that ---- could flake off (especially with all that vibration and the fact that its sticking to paint in there).

did you try putting a pumper on there?....imo you are gonna have to push it up and back some ;)
