Xover to turbo bolts: orientation
Hi,
I'm still working on the installation of my one piece crossover pipe.
I have my bolts that connect the Xover to the turbo in like this: turbo-xover-bolts.jpg (1080×1351) (951werks.eu)
Green circle: bolt head to the fender side, nut on the turbo side
Red circle: bolt heads to the turbo side, nut on the fender side
Is this correct?
Additionally, how can I torque these nuts down? I tried crows' feet with a 3/8 torque wrench, but I didn't have enough space.

I just installed my crossover pipe with all the bolts oriented like the green circled one (except the welded on nut). I wasn't able to insert the bolt from the backside (red circled) as there just wasn't enough space.
I would just crank these down until they are "gudentite". All you have to do is crush the sealing ring and ensure its tight enough the bolts don't vibrate loose. They are lock nuts so the risk is rather low. Tighten until flanges touch each other all around.
