Picture doesn't work...

I think you need new copper washers, but the banjo bolts should be OK to re-use... of course if it's only a couple of days you can probably get away with it.
Is it a standard turbo, or will you need to fit a restrictor too?

 

[johnsy]

its a standard turbo (360 thrust )

can you see pic

Get new washers mate,

I can't see the picture but you should be able to reuse the banjo bolts.

you will need new copper washers, some will say you can re-use them but it's not a good idea.

 

[johnsy]

any idea where i can get some, i believe there goodridge hoses,

so the oe bolts are ok,?

 

[johnsy]

You'd be surprised how many times you can re use a copper washer :lol:

I've got access to all the copper washers i could ever want at work but always seem to forget to bring them home with me when i need them, as a result the washers on the water feed and return hoses on my turbo have been used about 5 times now
