i need to get my turbo mani re tapped and studded…
will machine shops do this? it took me forever just to get the stock turbo off… and it took the treads right with it so now i can t get the stud out!
buy a tap and die set or take it too a local machine shop,your on the right track man
Doug, do you need a new turbo manifold? I have one sitting here that doesn’t look like it’s going on as soon as I planned… or ever.
Let me know… its just taking up space right now.

we have about 8 of them at the garage but every one has the threads stripped at the end do to corrision and when u take the nut off it strips it:(
Well, I only have one, but it’s not stripped out :tounge:
wait, the stud is stuck in the manifold? if so, use a stud remover—looks kinda like a channel lock for studs—it wraps around the studs and connects to a 3/8 or 1/2 drive ratchet/breaker bar. that will get studs out…
now if u got the stud out, and stripped it, then ur stuck drilling out and cutting new threads…
