Torqueing Turbo manifold
Hey guys I am installing this turbonetics kit and now I am ready to tighten down the turbo manifold bolts and well there is no way to get a socket on like 3 of them due to the way the manifold is made and then like 2 others they are too close to the manifold to get a socket around. So that really only leaves the 4 outer that I can torque. What can I do to get the other one torqued or tightend to where it wont leak but then again I wont break them so far all I found that I can get on them is a 12mm wrench. Please Help?

You need to stop what you are doing before you F things up and go get yourself a set of thin wall sockets made by craftsman or some other quality name brand. Cheap thin wall sockets can crack, but that is what you need to get the socket on around the bolts.
