Okay; old EM has been removed:)  Yhowza.  Anyway, whats so hard about
removing 5mm allen bolts, covered in coolant that you cannot see?  A major
victory:)   I am now rather intimate with the passenger side of the motor.
My mothers day obstacle is that the new turbo does NOT have studs on the hot
side for connection to the downpipe.  Nor studs on the topside for the
coolant lines.
I am thinking I can use 5mm allen screws just like on the bottom to solve the
coolant connection.   The turbo downpipe studs are more problematic.  Can the
old ones be removed?  If so, how?  I'm thinking of just using bolts or
cutting off the old ones, screwing them in and just bolting up.
I don't know why the new turbo does not have these studs.
Would I use stainless steel bolts?  Anyone know that bolts pitch?
Genius or even non genius thoughts and comments much appreciated, as I'd like
to try to get this thing back together by tonight.
TIA
 Cheers'
