Well I’ve noticed this today, the turbo has a little gap from the manifold to the turbo. I know because u can see about a 1mm gap and when I am in high RPM’s there is a big vibration noise. So my question is what is the easiest way to tighten the turbo? It is a sr20det in a s13 240sx. I know this might be a stupid question for some of you but i’m a noob and i’m wearing my flame repellant suit 😉 ---

Just tighten up the bolts using the appropriate sized wrench/socket? And if that doesn’t work perhaps just get a new gasket ---

To tighten all the nuts you will need to take the manifold/turbo assembly out of the car. With the turbo in the car you won’t be able to get to one of the nuts. ---

With the turbo in the car you won’t be able to get to one of the nuts. like jason said take the manifold off and get a new gasket some lock washers and lock tight and tighten the shit out of the bolts!!! ---

I’m about to do this but I’m having a hell of a time getting all the gaskets, the last time I got my gaskets I got one that was four bolt for the downpipe. Anyone know of a part number for a 5 bolt one?
