I ordered some Tial parts for the wastegate on Friday. A REAL spring and diaphram for it because the originals are cheap garbage.

Came home today and found out the bolts holding the wastegate down decided to back out just enough to allow a small amount of exhaust to bleed by frying the crap out of the steel gasket. I'm glad I didn't get on it at all today while driving Gives me a reason though to check all the hardware that was recently added to the exhaust system while I wait for another gasket and the tial internals to show up.
Edit>
Just found out that I'm also missing two bolts from the downpipe flange..Last edited by jinx; 07-26-2010, 10:12 PM.

I also don't expect the $60 ceramic coating to last long on the manifold/turbo because its discoloring which sucks.. It looks to be cracking/peeling up more beyond the wastegate tubing weld.Last edited by jinx; 07-26-2010, 10:29 PM.

The downpipe wasn't missing any bolts while I was at ace's, but that doesn't mean they weren't already coming loose and leaking. The wastegate wasn't loose yet because we were inspecting it pretty closely due to the fact that the VHT paint was burning off of the dump pipe and would have noticed that right away.
