You put a copper washer on both sides of the fitting right...

Block - washer - line - washer - banjo bolt.

if his answer is yes, then he might be looking at a helicoil install.

Which can be done, from my experience I have seen it work just fine. Its just difficult to get it straight with the engine in the car. I didnt do it, I watched a pro do it one time.

yea i have a washer on each side. i also had a friend tell me that it could be that the screw portion on the turbo can be stripped and to retapp it. anyone else?
