Anyone know what size the Allen bolts are that screw into the wastegates? There are Tial gates so I'm guessing they're not metric (plus I tried a few metric ones) Tial's website doesn't have a number and Greddy's site is not working right. So if anyone just so happens to know, let me know.
Thanks

6mm. Get a longer sized cap screw wrench so you can tackle it from a 45degree angle. Otherwise, a couple of the bolts are impossible to get a wrench on them.

Oh, get yourself some crummy 6mm allen wrenches as well, so you can bend and chop them up....you might need to "modify" the wrenches.

 

something like these maybe?

 

hey..what are you doing with my hands? those are mine!

Tools of the trade....laptop and bent wrenches.

 

Thanks for the reply. Some how the allens that are easy to reach while the car is together had backed out (gone) and created a exhaust leak that cause me to find it. To bad the cheap gasket burnt up in no time (as you probably guessed) When my test pipes show up and I have better access I'll swap them out for the metal gaskets. Now I have to go kick the *** of that guy who installed those bolts. What was his name again....?

 

dont be too tough on him. The bolts and washers Greddy provides all seem to back out. When I changed my gaskets, the bolts were hand tight.

 

Thanks now I don't feel as bad about it. When I installed them I turned them hard as I could. This time I'll get a allen socket.

there is no room for an allen socket. you'll need an allen cap-screw wrench.
