Standard Exhaust Dump Question.

[ish]

Hi!

I have just recently started hearing lots of exhaust gas leaking on my stock tt R32. A nut seems to have vibrated loose and disappeared. Also it looks like the same thing was going to happen on the front turbo as its missing a nut as well .

We had a bit of a horror run getting it diagnosed properly locally so i attacked it my self and isolated it to the rear turbos exhaust dump gasket blowing out .

Using the manual all has gone fairly easy to the point of undoing the dump from the rear turbo.

I was wondering if anyone knew if i have enough room to: A. change the standard gasket with out removing the turbo from the upper exhaust manifold while up on Stand's, B. should i stop and take it to a hoist now knowing the problem. C. source a manifold for a to4z i have and and give up on the twins altogether?

Its booked in for 13 days away so i thought i would ask a few ?'s in the forum that might just straight up know while i wait and try to fix my self.

thanks dj

From looking at a mate's R32 GTR, I recken if you undo the joiner pipe to the cat, you might be able to undo the dump and back it off enough to slip a new gasket in there and then do it back up.

Getting to the bolts might be harder... the motor really looks shoe-horned into that engine bay!

yeah .. we are confident to give it a go after work tonight !

As long as no one gongs it for now until 6pm.

Lol at the shoe-horn ! +covered in pipes, struts and shield's

Yeah! Unless someone with an R32GTR who's attempted it before says that it's impossible, then I can't see any harm in just trying.
