ko3s hybrid turbo BOLTS

[lj03]

hi i have a a 18t 20v auq engine i have a highflow cast JBS manifold to which a hybrid ko3s is attached on top of the manifold are 2 bolts one of these bolts has come loose the car has been driving ok but every now and again not boosting properly which untill now i had not looked at these bolts just the hoses etc...

Anyway today i have had trouble starting the carit starts then cuts out and i pressume that is because of this bolt!!
can i just screw it back in and thats it??? or does everything have to come off??
also what does this bole go into???
i know i haven made myself clear but any help would be great thanks

2 bolts ?? should be 3 bolts im running on on my ibiza

they bolt straight to the turbo so if you have only 2 bolts in may be why its not boosting right

They should have a torque setting can you get onto the place who fit it and ask what the setting is and why they didn't use it? Lol

 

[lj03]

yep three bolts didnt see the other one

[lj03]

AWSOME fitted it then had a problem with it so took it to local garage who re-done it

I had a mate with similar issues. no matter how tight they did the nuts it kept coming loose. they tried several things until they put the tiniest spot weld on each bolt head. hope you dont go down the same route.
