Scott,.
I have everything except for a working Turbo. :-) I'm laughing at myself
for not researching the loctite issue before going into it without a
BPV. I'm going to give it one more try with loctite Red 272 as per
Sprongl and see if that keeps it all together. I've been told that it
could have been incorrect torque cause loctite green is supposed to work
fine, but its something I should have thought about.
But yes, I suppose I will eventually actually try that, but I was getting
very good spool up with the setup. It was decent making full 1.5 bar by
4000 rpm when starting from 3K in 5th gear. It would come on around 3500
when started from deep in 5th. Before the nut fell off. But wow! The
sound and power was Nothing at all like it was before.
