what size are the bolts that bolt the turbo to the manifold? i noticed a leak after i got home from the track and found that both top bolts are missing and you can see a huge gap between the turbo and manifold... and whats the easiest way to replace the gasket?

There is no easy way. Off comes the turbo. It's a little easier to remover the manifold and turbo as a unit. Make sure to modify the turbo brace while it's out. Makes it easier the next time the turbo has to come off!

what do you mean modify the brace? i think i have the brace moved outa the way when i did the oil drain back... could this be way the bolts worked there way out?

By modifying the brace I mean slot the 2 holes and grind away about 2" of the 'ears' on either side. This will allow you to remove/install the brace without removing the turbo and it facilitates removing the turbo without removing the manifold. It makes it a little bit easier. Did you have locknuts on the turbo studs? The factory nuts are the kind that are compressed to stop them from backing off.

on the turbo they have studs? its looks to me they have bolts that go into them... ill look at the bottom ones and see if they r studs or bolts... i was gonna put new bolts on the top with lockwashers on them...
