There have been a few warnings over on VWVortex about people who have had them fitted to tuned engines, but not used a strengthened bolt. Damaging both the bolt and the thread. :sick:

....I'm sure my Neuspeed one came with a bolt.

did everyone use a torque wrench?? or is it ok to just make sure its "tight"
Using a torque wrench is highly advisable when installing this.

If your insert didn't come with an inclusive stretch bolt then it is highly advisable get a new one(stretch bolt) before you start your install.
