Turbo to manifold Nuts.

[alex s]

Quick question, the nuts on the turbo to manifold keep working loose, so I want to replace with K-nuts ( thanks Graham) question is what size are they.... I have T25's and M400 manifolds.


Also has anyone tried other solutions.
Tried calling Factory but answer machine all the time!!!

Cheers
Alex

There's a guy in the states who's used some form of compression washer which seems to have worked. Search the Nobleforums site.
Alternatively ask Porsche?

Alex,

We have a solution that seems to have worked - RobP who was perennially complaining of the nuts working loose after every track day, and Joust and Richard Gould all have our silver plated WRC 12-point nuts. They look so good you need a photo of them on display all the time!!!!! No complaints so far.....

I can confirm I haven't suffered from slack nuts since Trevor gave them his magic touch.

Not a single moan from me following conversion to the ever-so-pretty sliver plated K-nuts..

Indeedy..so far survived Donny, Spa and the Ring and no sign of that familiar asthmatic wheeze the morning after. So another little design niggle sorted.
