That sucks, though I don't even know what a banjo bolt is. :| A banjo bolt is a bolt with a hole in the center and on it sides. They are commonly used on brake calipers to connect the brake line to the caliper, and any other application that needs fluid to pass through a bolt http://volvospeed.com/...

The fuggly one on top I was able to get out with a can of dust off and a stud remover. The one that was cut off. I tried welding nuts to it but it just made it shorter. Drilled it of center. Filled the hole again. Drilled it right the second time. Now I just have to tap it. But I can't do anymore to...

If you can't find one local you can always take some cardboard and cut it to shape. As long as you tighten it up tight where it won't leak the cardboard won't burn. If the exhaust leaks then the cardboard will be toast.

Trust me....drilling out those studs is not easy. You're best bet is heating the crap out of the stud with MAPP gas.....propane won't cut it. Hehe, I think I got just the thing for the studs.

Just a little question on turbo's, promise it's small XD

I have a Vf10 and I snapped the studs or just one and toasted another. Well anyways I was just wondering if it is worth my while to buy a 16g for $200 and sell the Vf10 for whatever and let the next person fix it. Any who, here is a pic for your viewing pleasure. http://i342.photobucket.com/albums/o...

Your second sentence confused me. You can run this with the chip or without it. Don't use the SAFC2 with it. It will be useless because the pp6 can do what it can plus more.

Slower or inconsistant? The light will only flash when it detects a pulse in the wire. So it's either your coil going out, wire is not connected or going bad, or your plug is bad.

If the threads weren't striped out of the pin. You could have used a timing cover bolt and pulled on that with pliers.

It honestly doesn't look like you will have the space to put the Recirculation valve in a stock like position. You might be able to cut your original hose and get a pipe between the spliced and still have the original hole for the recir. valve. I think that would be a little easier to do. Especially...
