i installed the pyrometer and boost guages

i dropped the exhaust collector from the manifold in order to collect my drill shavings

cannot seem to get the collector to seat on the gasket now

i can hear the exhaust escaping when i spoll the trubo and reach about 20 lbs of boost

there is a soot line at the gasket

any suggestions as to a tool to tighten the outboard bolts

i can't get enough torque with my wrench that will fit in there

 

looks like you might have to go buy some new wrenches or something that will work.

 

smarty

it turns out that the small amount of soot that i saw on the collector wasn't my problem, i had fixed that already i just didn't know it

i saw the soot and immediately thought that was my problem

keep it simple stupid is always a good way to go

turns out that somehow in my attempt to tap the manifold i managed to knock my aem intake out or at least loose from the rubber boot above the turbo

the horrible screech was the air rushing past that rubber seal when i built up boost

the obvious problem doesn't always solve the issue

oh well i can live with the small inconvenience of torqueing and retorqueing
the collector after finding the easy to fix problem, i really thought i may have screwed up my turbo with metal shavings from the install
