Re: Help....Poorly MR2 Turbo

why dont you do the easy thing for now and just turn the boost down to a lower level (7 psi) that should stop slippage for now.

Or you can do a old trick and pour a few cans of full fat coke into clutch/flywheel housing and letting it dry (nice and sticky got me home from a drag races at Santa pod)

IF you really ...

Jj, you know whether it'd need to retap the hole left by the old stud to get the new stud in there?



that sounds so wrong on so many levels.
