HOw the F*** do you install the nut on the bottom of this thing?? The elbow takes a turn south and there is no room to get a nut on there. Could I possibly revove the stud and use a bolt putting it in that hols first so I could leave a gap and pull it in with the bolt?? Any help would be great because I'm starting to regret buying this thing.

well if you have it off you should be able to get it loose..if you have a torch that always helps if you heat it then try to remove it..keep in mind the turbine section gets unbelievebly hot...its not surprising it would be stubborn. even if you have a propane torch it wil help alot..just be sure not to be too forceful with it, you dont want to break the stud off in the turbine housing...this would be bad..

I'm trying to install it, not remove it. If it was already attached, then I would be VERY happy.

dont you love how greddy products are so easy to put on. it pissed me off when i did mine too. cant use the lockwashers. have to put the nut at the bolt hole and turn the nut gradually to thread it onto the stud. good luck.

i've installed a few different types of elbows. Best method is to not put the elbow flush up to the turbo, but have the studs poke a little ways through. then one you get those started, you can flush it up to the turbo and put the bolts in.

I'm about ten minutes from you, how's the swap coming? If you need any help or anything, let me know. I've got the s13 sr/ s14 chassis as well.
