White bolts?

[Xx_R/T_xX]

Was taking my turbo off to send it out to agp(thanks again fellas)and noticed 2 things.


1.All my bolts that hold the manifold to the head,and o2 housing to the turbo are white,as well as the threads have a whitish powder on them.

2.The turbine housing on the turbo is whitish/pinkish in color as well.

I am running 100% meth.

mine are white right now, I used a lil bit of thread locker on them.... I also had the "pinkish tint on the exhaust side. Don't trip it is nothing to be worried about.

It's any antisieze or threadlocker that was used upon install. With the heat it will dy up and turn white. I've alsp just seen the bolts just corrode some from the heat cycling and what not. Nothing to worry about.

sounds good..i just bought new bolts and locking washers so hopefully non of my bolts loosen up and cause leaks as there did before,even tho i used thread locker on the bolts
