I finally got around to puttin in my new Big 16g. After installing everything and finally starting it up I was leaking some oil from the feedline into the turbo. I figured it was because I used the stock washers, so I replaced them. When re-installing the feedline from head-turbo i somewhat stripped out the feed at the head. Now it is leaking at the head and STILL at the turbo even with the new washers. I don't have a torque wrench, so I don't know exactly how tight the turbo's banjo bolt is. I think it is suppose to be about 25 ft. lbs. I don't want to overtighen it and strip it out also. That is my problem.. Now for my options.
I am thinking, going with the relocation to the filter housing would be my best option. My questions are what i should do about the semi-stripped head feed fitting. Once I have the correct bolt to block it off what should I do? Do I need to re thread it even to block it off, or I had a thought of using some JB weld WTF I'm just hoping to get some replys from people who have had a similar problem and what they did. Thanks in advance!
