I am trying to remove my turbo and the nut and bolt is seized solid, i have used loads of wd40 and even tried to heat it up and still nothing, any advice is helpfull.
Oxy Acetelyne welding torch, or high temp blowtorch sometimes does (MAPP gas version, higher temp flame). Trick is to heat the nut more than the bolt if you can to force it to expand a bit more and release from the bolt. Good luck
Get a mate to help and when you have heated the bolt put an old flathead/small pry bar by the bolt and give a little pressure to encourage it to unsrew. Worked on mine but took a bloddy long time.
As said heat and some extra leverage and it should come undone. Turbo nuts can be an **** to undo due to the heat cycles that go through the studs, nuts & bolts At least it's a top one and it's easily accessible

Happened on mine, not too bad as you can then replace the nut and bolt with a decent one!
