apexi Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 If it's the bolt I outlined in red below, it looks like the same bolt is used on the intercooler bracket. So you could just borrow the bolt off the bracket and try it at the hardware store in one of those nut/bolt size checkers. I did some reading that suggests m8 x 1.25, but I'm not certain of that.

JmP6889928 Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 I believe it is M8X1.25. Easy enough to check. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbolgt Posted October 29, 2014 Author Share Posted October 29, 2014 Awesome, thanks again. I will be pulling tmic off to replace pcv valve. I don't like putting things back together sub par, this was top of the list. Ill pull one tomorrow and let ya know size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Capacity Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 Yes, 8mmx1.25. Pretty common bolt for these cars. It's also the same size for the threads in the brake rotors, used to drive them off the hubs. Hint, do not remove the TB hose from the TB, only remove the tmic from the hose. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs. (SOLD). CHECK your oil, these cars use it. Engine Build - Click Here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
