Mazda never published torque specs for the various fasteners on the MazdaSpeed Protege's turbocharger assembly and therefore I had to reverse engineer this. There is widespread overtorquing of these fasteners and causing them to be damaged in some form as well as improper torque sequencing which has caused exhaust leakage. Since no one has this information or has went through the trouble to get this information, I again took it upon myself to procure and share this information with the community.
I went ahead and took pics of the turbo assembly and visually laid out the torque specs in them.
Due to the hours spent by me reverse engineering these specifications, the pics and information are under copyright. Watermarks and notices have been placed in the PDF to enforce this. Thanks for the understanding.
