Ok, so finally pressure tested for leaks and i found one near turbo (more inside.)

i can feel it and i found in on the front side of the driver side turbo. One of the lines running into the front/passenger side of the driver side turbo there is a nut on the line that was loose. i tightened it down with my finger. but i couldnt get a wrench in there yet. I just wanna know what im tightening in there? is it the wastegate line or what?
Or do i need to explain in more detail?

Thanks

Yep that's the charge pressure line that goes up to the N75. It's a 13mm hex head. Troy your best to

get that tightened or else it will plague you.

TY very much, yes when i hand tightened it i ran fine 0 misfires. but it loosened again (more insid)

Tomorrow im gonna get it on the lift and heat up a wrench and bend it see if i can sneak it in there and give it a good tightening.

Thanks for the help was looking to find out what the name of that wretched line was. TY

Thats an aluminum banjo bolt, be very careful to not overtighten as it will break, also did you...

install crush washers on each side of the banjo?

its all OEM equipment from facotry i have never had the turbos messed with or anything...

Soo im assuming whatever is on there from the factory is what i got and yes i didnt over tighten all i could do was finger tight for now till i get it on the lift and special fit a wrench in there to get it snug.

Would this be fine for say a couple months? till the turbos finally go (slight screamer) and i go K04's
