[QUOTE="2001Snake, post: 10889113, member: 99113"] Well I weld for a living and I know from experience that stainless reacts big time with heat. The tapped holes were fine before they welded the flange to the pipe but after the heat from welding it it basically shrank the threaded bolt holes. I recommend maybe running a tap through them before twisting a bolt off in them. If it doesnt go easy don't force it. I had it almost tight then they just gaulded up and broke..... There so tight that vise grips can't get one out. I'm going to have to drill it for sure. If I can't get a drill in there straight then I'm going to pull the piping off to do it right.... Yes I had all the up piping tight because I had all of it where it goes and have the turbo bracket in place. The waste gate was lined up perfectly, the bolt holes were just too tight. I should have went and bought a tap and ran through them prior to trying to mount the gate. Just hope I don't have to pull all that piping back off..... [/QUOTE]
