| How in gods name are you supposed to get the turbo bolts off, im changing my down pipe and already wrapped every knuckle on something just to get the heat shield off,
ive taken the 2 bolts on the top off (with nuts on back) but the other ones with all my weight and tin after tin of wd40 cannot for the life of me even budge 1mm
any one any ideas, car is a 99 wrx with vf29

| Yeah i had all new nuts on my exhaust side and they were nice and fresh, makes life ALOT easier i must say. Before that it was a fight,
Fixing cars in the wet/winter/cold does really suck! | |

| makes all the difference like new nuts im replacing my standard catted pipe for a decatted one, i will be plugging the lambra sensor back in the new one, will this affect my ecu do you think? i.e. will the light come up on the dash untill it has been mapped | |

| It could quite possibly do so, the lambda may read erratic with no restrication (cat) in the pipe. Some guru may know otherwise,
P.S Hope the lambda comes out well enough from old pipe. | |

| Heating it up and pray the threads dont pull out, maybe wise to ask Finn/Drew/AK if they have a known good sensor you can buy and just replace it and pipe together, saves hassle. | |

| av been there so many times with the turbo bolts  tip for removing lamba sensor (when exhaust is off the car) fit the correct size spanner 24mm a believe, and use ring end ov spanner. make sure its on square and fits nice, then hit the other end ov the spanner with a big hammer (mash hammer), works everytime  | |
