18mm;):D thats all that is left are the 3 bolts... long story short a freaking nightmare, this time around im gonna use all studs and nuts to mount the turbo cause it would be a lot easier if i got the turbo out of the way but what are you gonna do? I need my ASE Certified Master Technician Chris "C Stack" Beanes

I used up pipe bolts to bolt my turbo to the pedistal. The front drives side one is a pain to take on and off, but the other 3 aren't too bad.

Did you get it off yet? I know pulling the stocker was a huge pain the in the @ss

We studded reeces 4094 and I've done it and lock washers on every turbo since. It's a great idea

Glad you got it. So how did you end up getting them out?

pass side one was a short extension with a swivel and a 1/2 flex head ratchet... the one closest to the front on the driver side was the same 1/2 flex head 17" ratchet with a short 17mm socket perfect fit and the far back one was with the same ratchet and some extensions after i put my man pants on and just did it, it was easy.

If it wasn't for this ratchet i'd of been screwed thats for sure... it broke every single bolt loose that i needed it too.

Nicks motor will either pop or he will run a 12.1@120mph. No way he is running an 11:D

with the Caltracs and the S475 i might see a 12.01 @119:thumb: If thats the case then the S475 will need one of Trents twin setups:D
