Message: [QUOTE="ghohouston, post: 1241900, member: 9421"] ^and on that note, just hand thread the up pipe to manifold bolts in, so they're still loose, and fully tighten the collector to up pipe bolts. Install pedestal, set turbo on pedestal, get the collector lined up perfectly as TomS said, to the turbo inlet, feel ALL the way around the turbo inlet and make sure it sits flush all the way around the flange, then put your v band clamp on hand tight. From there, my way of doing it is this: hand thread both 13mm turbo to pedestal bolts, then you actually tighten the exhaust collector v band clamp, then the 13mm turbo bolts can be tightned, then the up pipe to manifold bolts, then the downpipe. And for extra insurance, put a bit of clean grease on the turbo to pedestal o rings, so they don't slide around and get pinched during installation. [/QUOTE]
