I was checking my manifold to see where I am going to tap for my EGT gauge and noticed on the manifold that connects to the turbo is missing two inboard bolts?? The outboard has bolts that come up from underneath with a nut on top. But there are no inboard bolts. I can see the front inboard and there is a hole like there is suppose to be a bolt. I could only feel the hole in the back inboard. Are there suppose to be bolts/nuts on the inboard side????
Can you guys check your 06's and see if you have bolts on the inboard side of the manifold connecting to the turbo.

Thanks,

There should be 4 stainless steel nuts total for the turbo to manifold connection.

4 studs total and they oppose each other. 2 reside in the turbine housing the other 2 studs reside in the manifold.

Thats 2 nuts on the bottom side of the turbine housing on the engine block side.
2 nuts on the top of the manifold that reside on the fender/battery side.

 

If that is the case, I am missing the 2 inboard bolts/nuts. I am surprised I don't have an exhaust leak or maybe I do and dont notice.

I better check the engine mount bolts to make sure they are all there..
