14B banjo bolt issue... doesn't thread into turbo, but fits through SS line..

[mattn]

The banjo bolt fits through the opening at then end of the SS line I got from RRE, but it does not thread into the turbo. I have another banjo bolt that DOES thread into the turbo, but will not fit through the line... what the hell am I suppose to do about this??? I thought I finally had all the parts to get my car running again, but apparently not... please help.

thanks,
matt

Sounds like you need to hit RRE up and tell them about your problem. The only other thing I can think of is hit the local hardware store and see if anyone has banjo bolts and take the two you have and match up till you have what you need.

I bought it from someone off this board assuming it would work... im gonna check out some hardware stores and email the seller...

thanks

so, the one that fits in the turbo is too small for the banjo bolt, or too big?

Yeh, tell RRE, also, did you try both side of the SS line...normally this isn't the case but maybe the fittings on either end are different sizes?

Too big to fit into the hole fitting off the SS line, that goes into the turbo.
