Does the turbo's oil drain or oil feed line use a gasket?

Are they re-usable or do I have to buy new gaskets?

Is thread sealant needed on any of the oil drain/feed lines?

 

yes i believe it is reusable though can you take some pics of your turbo flange on the stock manifold with the gasket on it? i want to port mine but dont want to take it off if it is negligable to do so thanks

 

The threading is M10 x 1.5
The front side of the manifold the flange is non-threaded. On this side the studs will need to thread into the turbo. My turbo flange measured 0.7 inches thick. So on one side of the stud you will need close to 0.7 inches of threading then a non-threaded portion (the ones I found had 0.25 non-threaded) and then back to the threading. The studs I found at napa were too long so you will have to trim them down to about 1.60 inches.

On the back side you will be able to reuse the stock bolts no problem. That's what I did.

Also you will need to reuse your factory nuts as they are smaller than most nuts with M10 X 1.5

Let me know if there is any other help you may need.

 

I tried metric bolts and they did not thread into my ATS manifold, I needed 3/8" bolts.....

Still cant figure out how to get the one, last bolt installed through the flange.....3 were easily installed, just not enough room for the last one to thread in

 

I ended up finding some high temp/high strenght exhaust manifold studs, and cut them down to length. I then installed them into the manifold first and slid the turbo flange over the studs......

I used bolts on the other two ends and snugged everything up nice and tight.....

 

Ok guys need some help here.....I removed the oil supply line, without any issues. I was glad to discover it is the braided line, so it is more flexible.

I also removed the two bolts for the oil drain line, without any issues.

I removed all of the bolts for the exhaust manifold, but it will not break free!!!!!

The coolant line that runs near the manifold just took a nut, and does not appear anything else is holding the coolant line bracket on....correct? Is it just a stud with a nut on the end?

Does this coolant support line have to be cut, to remove the assembly?

Also, I loosened the nut on one of the clamps for the elbow, but the clamp itself is not opening up......and suggestions?

THANKS!!!
