I did mine at work so I had the use of my mates tool box which has about 6k worth of tools in it so it made everything a bit easier, even when I cross threaded one of the bolts  :embarassed:

big praises for stubby spanners :), managed to get a few more turns on it and it sounds a lot better at idle, however its not fully tight as there is movement in the washer. may just have to change the nut,add a couple of washers, am i right in sayin its an M10

Little tip for you, get it up on axle stands then jack the turbo up gently, at least then you're just working the bolt in, not trying to lift everything up with the bolt  :wink:
