can u believe this BS!
 
so i put my turbo kit together and ran it for a while noticed two o -rings were leaking from the injectors and tonite i go to replace em and when i re tighten the fuel rail nuts , the stud ------- snapped! I had n extra manfiold laying around so i drank some beer and swapped one out! then the next stud BROKE! the whole process went good untill now!
figures.

You did a fook.

You should have learned the first time, and not tightened it so much. This happened to me once, I got a couple replacement studs from the dealership. They aren't really expensive.

who tighten's the fuel rail that tight? hand tight and check if it leaks, done... why muscle it? do as jago says

I always go with the standard torque specs. "too tight's broke"
