• Other Names:

  Nut Hex

• Description:

  This is a genuine Ford turbocharger nut, an M8 hex-head nut built on the HN2 base used on the exhaust side of the turbocharger system. Ford dealer catalogs list it as a Turbocharger Nut, and it threads onto a stud to clamp the turbocharger, exhaust connection, or related component firmly against heat and vibration. Because it works in a high-temperature environment, it is built to resist loosening and thread degradation under repeated heat cycling. You will find it used on Ford applications with the 1.6L EcoBoost engine including Fusion, Escape, Transit Connect, and Fiesta, with applications spanning a broad range of model years. These are representative examples rather than a complete list, since Ford shares this hardware across turbocharged applications. A loose, missing, or corroded turbocharger nut lets the turbo or its exhaust connection loosen, which causes exhaust and boost leaks, a ticking or hissing noise that changes with engine load, reduced boost, and possible damage at the mounting flange. Because this is a high-temperature exhaust-side fastener, always install it correctly and torque it to the Ford specification, and replace it if it shows corrosion or thread damage during turbo service. Confirm the correct nut for your specific vehicle and engine against your VIN before ordering, since turbocharger hardware varies by application.
