So I Had a Small UP Leak


BoxerGT2.5

What makes this a pain in the ass on my car:

 

I welded everything together from the downpipe to the Y-Pipe. It's a STI DP from TurboXS and their HFC. It shouldn't have fitted on my car, but with a little fabrication it fit perfect.

:eek:

 

See, I told you to use anti-seize :lol:

 

That UP looks like a quality piece, can you say "cold weld" :lol: ; was it wrapped???

 

You really should put a joint or 2 in the exhaust; I learned that the hard way long ago.

 

 

Remember that rattle I was asking you about, well it was the UP. :lol:

 

It was not wrapped, which probably would have made all the difference in the world. :iam::lol:

 

I used anti-seize and a torque wrench putting everything back on :eek: (32ft-lbs on everything=sealed perfect). Rich would be so proud. :lol:

 

 

Getting the TBE back on the car wasn't hard. I just used a jack to lift it back up and roll the DP back onto the turbo. From there I just started putting the hangers back on and Wa-La. Overall it took me about 2hrs.
