turbo inlet nuts loose on manifold

[Andy4106]

can i retighten them with the turbo on the car. or do i have to pull the manifold off?

i can get to them all, but i dont know if i can tighten the back two. im not going to even try if it cant be done. i really dont wanna pull the mani because the car is my dd and i dont have the parts ready. soooo. can i re tighten the bolts while on the car?

I've done it many times with the turbo and manifold on the car, but it's a very very tight squeeze.
You'll need to get your hands into some weird positions.

thank you so much for your quick reply. i dont want this as and perm fix.just as dd while i wait for the new gaskets to come in. i have the locking tabs as well. but they werent bent like they should be.
any advice on what tools to use?

I used a wrench like this.


I did the ones in towards the engine side first, that way the other bolts don't get in the way.
Then the 2 on the fender side was easy to do.
