Chipped td5 snapping studs on manifold

<< < (2/2)

Range Rover Blues:
Quite possibly so, also they would become a barrier to heat?

ragerover:
heres a trick i used with my defender td5 with the same issue

 i removed the manifold ... left the turbo attatched then mig welded a bolt to the stud  as the head is alloy the weld only takes to the steel old stud not the head  then i warmed it up and turned the old stud out didnt believe it would work myself but it did

ps common problem on td5 running big power they also warp the manifold too

good luck

extreme90:
try getting a proper map on it and not a crap plug in box
not had a issue with either of my td5's and there mapped to death

adafish:
pop down here to IRBdevelopments, soon sort it fella...

disco2 td5:
I've removed the chip box turned the boost down

I've also cut all the webs out of the manifold drilled out all the holes to take 10 mm bolts. Re fitted using 5 individual exaust gaskests

I'm still wondering weather it's worth getting it chipped in the ecu or weather to leave it
Because it only started snapping studs after I fitted the egr kit
