    Turbo / snail / Hat fitment

    Took a pic and before I smack the (JB WELD?) glued on turbo hat with a hammer to dislodge and potentially destroy the snail, Should it be closer to the turbo?

    Pressure Chamber/Turbo Hat to Turbo 'O' Ring source?

    Greeting fellow Oil Burners, Looking for the "O" ring above. Naturally the hat is 'glued' (?) down to the manifold by the PO and I hope I can knock it loose with a hammer stick and not break it. It is not squarely seated on the turbo exhaust and I suspect it will in fact suffer a pressure loss...

    Loss Prevention

    Been looking at a few things for Loss Prevention/tracking. I figure one of the best ways to prevent the loss is to stop it before it begins. I will not prevent the engine from cranking but to prevent it from starting for the average individual. Some people might get energetic enough to stick...
