I know what teflon and lock-tite are for. What I want to know is where are they used most often. I know teflon should be used for oil/water lines, but what I was wondering was about the heat from turbo. Is this enough to melt or deteriate the teflon. And what bolts should you use lock-tite on. Just something that I have been thinking about here before my turbo project. Thanks for any info.

teflon is very heat resistant. It comes on frying pans and such. There is no prob with using it for the fittings for the turbo.

why not use anti-siezed? Thast's if you are worried about removing your fittings later. If it's for leaks then teflon is what you need. You know what lock-tite is for.

You'll save a few headaches by using Teflon paste instead of Teflon Tape. The paste seals better. Also Loctite can be a pain in the ass. Don't use it on things you plan to take off the car often. Try Loctite blue rather than red, its a bit weaker but still works great.
