Default Forgot to put in washers on TT manifold!!!!

Yeah, guess my freshness came on to me today! But I realized that I forgot to put on washers on the nuts to tighten the greddy turbo manifold, I only have the nut and thats it! Damn I do not feel like dropping the turbos to put washers on my lower manifold nuts!

What can I expect to happen??? Vibrate loose = teh sux0r leak

Well if the nuts are tightened well it would be fine, but I would recommend install them to be in the safe side of not losing the nut with high pressure and temperature. Also, the nuts will start loss its strength when temperature kicks in. The washers help the nuts to hold better with high temp and press
