EGT Causing Exhaust leak

anyone else had/have this issue? What did you do to fix it.

 

i welded a bolt into it

 

Mine kept backing itself out on and off for a few months. I kept tightening it when it got loose until the head was basically stripped - then I got a new one and no worries since.

A bolt would be cheaper tho.

 

I'm looking for a write up on how to take it out. Any benifit to getting a new/used one as opposed to juts removing it completly?

 

EGT in the up pipe? If so, just get a catless up pipe and do the resistor mod.

 

One piece header with upipe :/

 

and it is catless up already? If so, I used a cut down oil drain plug with a few copper washers. Mine never came out the 2+ years I had installed in my car.

 

the previous owner of my car had a bolt in, and when it came out it fried my pcm harness, I fixed the harness and put a bolt in it, with a tac for good measure

 

This. Definitely worth saving your turbo's life.

 

ok so no go on getting a new/used egt probe? just get a bolt and call it aday?

 

What year is your car?

 

2002. the uppipe is catless too. i didn't respond to that question.

 

Ah. Well throw a bolt in that bitch and put a tack on it to be safe.
