garyneedsz Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 i took my turbo off yesterday (280zxt 1981) and three metal things came off. the Big one, is the main manifold to turbo gasket, but can you name these two? i think they might be a type of washer, im not sure where they go, or if i even have to use them again, help me out.

They're locking tabs to keep the nuts from coming loose. You bend the tabs over against the nuts once the nuts are tight.

Hi, It looks like your main gasket has some 'blow by' so I would assume you will be using a new one ? Nigel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snailed Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 yeah i got all new gaskets for the turbo i just got. You don't have to use those locking ones if you don't want to. I would if they are in good shape though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
