Om642 engine, was trying to work too fast and forgot to put in one bolt. I cannot access it without removing turbo. Will this be an issue? It's the bracket that attaches to the passenger side intake mani which holds a bracket to the manifold. 2 bolts go through the bracket and bolt to the mani
 
Without having seen what you are querying-aren`t bolts there for a reason?
 
If there are 2 bolts & now you have one, Iimagine there is a problem. The single bolt will act as a pivot & the loading will be around that bolt so the manifold will not sit flat (leaks). As above 2 bolts for a reason
 
Dontcha just hate it when you have ‘spare’ bits on reassembly :wallbash:
 
No worse feeling
