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

Post by Skruyd »

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.

If you want another turbo then buy one. You should be able to fix that just by drilling out the studs like you would a broken bolt, or maybe even just twisting it with locking pliers.

Ummm buy the 16G. Those normally go for around $400.

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. Oxy-Acet :twisted: . But yea, I think I am going to just fix then sell this on the parts part of the forum and buy the 16g. All I know on it is the guy used it for several miles and it has an 18g compressor wheel. So, I guess that's my plan :-D

Couldn't you just weld on a bolt head to that or something?

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 tonight, started to rain :(
