T3 exhaust housing stud thread type
Turbo Mini Forums

Gents,

One of the studs is broken on the exhaust housing of my t3 turbo. Has anyone an idea of the thread size and pitch.

I've found in a ford forum that they may be m8 x 1.25?? Does this ring any bells.?

I will tackle the rest of the studs over the next few days and want to get some replacements.

Thanks

Yes that's the right size.... use stainless bolts

the hard part so far is getting the old broken studs out. getting there though.

I found when I stripped my turbo down, you have to use heat to get the old studs out with out snapping the studs, heat to almost cherry red.. Alan

Yes heat it up like Alan said,

When I went to swap the exhaust housings on mine it actually bent the spanner and didnt turn the bolt at all, im amazed it didnt shear, heated it up to cherry red and it came out reletivley easy.

Heat it
