[s-cars] RS2 Turbo install

[Tom Mullane]

If the turbo did not come with studs for the downpipe, you can order some
similar studs from VW.  The manifold to downpipe studs on the late 1980's
16v engines use similar studs.  Tell the dealer you need the studs for the
manifold to downpipe on a 1989 Jetta GLi 16v.

My reply:
when I did the RS2 turbo upgrade I needed a stud for the turbo to  downpipe
connection.   I removed a similar stud from my old turbo  using the double
nut
method. I also used a lot of WD-40 before and during the  removal.  As I
recall I found out that these studs were also available  at my local auto
parts
store.  No special item.

BTW, the exhaust manifold is really easy to put on if the cylinder head is
off.  Guess how I know.

Have fun.
