1 time I heard a wrench fall from my car! It sucks because it was a really nice 14mm ratcheting wrench. I heard it chiming and bouncing under my car. I looked back and seen it, so i turned around and looked for it for 15 minuets. I never found it

Sorry, I didnt hear it fall off. I just heard what sounded like a bolt or something hit the bottom of my car. It's still running fine. My guess is that it's either a bolt or socket etc. that fell outta reach during my swap and birated off the motor or I ran over like a bolt that was already in the road...hopefully lol. Where's the update?? you swap that turbo gasket??

you bought a metal or copper gasket right? cause if not dont bother putting anything else on it will just burrnn up then you have leaky leaky again.

yeah gotta love tryin to put the 2 nuts on the manifold beside the motor. I have my manifold and turbo out right now, ordered all new studs, nuts, locking plates from frsport. Little easier to put everything together at once and drop it down in the car and dont have to get all cut / scratched up from wrenching with no space. Hope everything works out for you man.
