First off, are the clips that hold the injectors in place (stops tehm from rotating?) important? or are they just throw away. Second, anyone know a local place i can pick up some 2.5" exhuast gaskets?

I believe car-x has them. Car-x in hopkins had 3" gaskets that fit (collector gaskets) when I was looking. They should have 2.5". How many do you need? I may have an extra at home.

i dont know of any clips that stop the injectors from rotating, i know of clips that hold the connector on to the injector, and i would say they are important. probably dont want a shaking motor loosening injector connectors leading to an intermittent connection, detonation, and a blown motor.

They are behind the injectors and stop them from rotating, they are made out of metal, ill get a pic after work.

I am not aware of those clips either. Just the ones that house the electrical connectors. BTW, I do not have any of the clips on mine and have had no problems. They all broke off a while ago. I plan on getting them though.

ugh, i hate those harness clips... they are the devil

Yeah I hate those as well, I finnaly freaked out and snapped all of them with a screwdriver and just bought the "better" ones Machv sells. We'll see how those work tomorrow when I put them on, btw I'll try to get a pic of the other things im talking about tonight, i just need to find the cameras mem card.

Anyone got a pic of a fuel rail bolt?

I will remove one and take a pic when I get home. I believe they are 8mm X 1.25 pitch and about 60 or 70 MM long (2.5-3"). They are most likely the 3 cleaner bolts you will have in the stack.

I swear I labeled those and put them in a bag but I cant find my pile of bags so I am just looking through my assorted bolts and found nothing that fit.

Ok my bolt situation is almost fixed except for I need oil return bolts that go in to the turbo, anyone got the specs for those?

They should be 6mm by 1.25, 10mm bolt head and short.

ok, i seem to have everything BUT the downpipe nuts that fit on the 02 studs.

those are cheap.. just get new ones.. they are weird looking too...

they are rounded on one side and normal on the other.. thin..


if you need them i can drop them off at qpr or something..

The 2G Injector clip things are TRASH..........Toss em'. Weight reduction stage 0.001.

I see you got your gaskets. I recently found out that Fleet Farm has metal reinforced two-bolt exhaust gaskets 3" and smaller. I don't know how good they are...But if you are like me and tear apart your exhaust every 2-weeks they work fine.

Enes, nuts that are sumwhat beveled on one end and not on the other are a type of locknut. I believe the ones for a DP are 10MM by 1.75 pitch. They are not a common size. You fill save some time if you can bring in the O2 housing or one of the nuts that fit. They are kind of an odd size.

Well I guess I'll see if Ace has em, unless someone here has some to sell.
