i noticed this a while ago but now have the motivation to actually fix it (got the day off tomorrow) anyways..... the clamp behind the turbo is where i have a leak... is this an easy fix... i.e. changing the clamp. or whats the deal with fixing this??? it looks like i should just be able to take that clamp off and put a new one on it.... i tried to tighten the clamp thats already on there but it didn't make a difference. thanks!

 

nobody has any ideas??????? anything???

 

Sorta unclear as to what you are referring to... Where is this clamp?

 

The one on the exhaust?

 

yeah it is right behind the turbo before the elbow for the downpipe.... i wish i had a camera to take a picture of it.

 

Try tightening the clamp if you haven't already. Otherwise, remove it completely and inspect the surfaces of each pipe where they join. If all looks good, go get a new 3" v-band clamp.

 

I've found if the line up between the downpipe and turbo isn't square no amount of torquing down on the clamp will fix it.
If it isn't square find out whats causing it further down the pipe.

 

take it off clean it and put it back on

no problem.

 

alright i'll give that a try. thanks!!
