To the 420a people, I somewhere/somehow lost the bolt coming out from the exhaust manifold on the bottom far left. I've got some misc bolts but none seem to fit. Anyone know what size or have a pic of what this one looks like? I took most of the manifold off yesterday to try to see better but didn't feel like taking off the DP and all just to look at it.

Turns out that one is gone and the the one on the very far right (next to thermostat) was very loose. Explains why the car seemed of exhaust badly and why the wire loom kept melting by the PS pump. Also explains the dirtiness of the head. Since I got the left one it, the turbo spools quicker and seems almost louder. Stupid little stuff like that is well, stupid.

I cant really help you out, but I feel your aggravation. About 5 of my exhaust studs are broken off and the rest look stretched and dont feel too strong. I'm going to attemp to replace them today, just took the manifold off. Will be the first time I have replaced studs.
