jdlc Posted September 6, 2009 Report Share Posted September 6, 2009 Been collecting parts for this, as well as tools, and trying to find time to diy it. What drove this is the r-mani I got from Ben (B-mac) and 3" downpipe from his friend, R-wagon. I got most parts ready, mostly from Summit, and my friendly Volvo dealership for banjo bolt washers, etc) This past week, I finally decided to put my T5M in limbo for a while and started taking things apart. Have everything out as of today - the manifold, the turbo, and the complete exhaust system. Stock dp was a bitch to remove because the SAS tube kept catching on the ps rack and firewall and there was just not a lot of room to remove the said tube. 9 out of 10 manifold studs came-out instead of just the bolts, and I ordered new bolts and not studs, lol. Story of my life. Cleaned the turbo and there is shaft play that's too a bit much for my comfort at 150k, so I'll r & r it, and hopefully this wll help: http://volvospeed.com/vs_forum/index.php/topic/118515-turbo-rebuild/page__hl__shaft__fromsearch__1 Anybody knopws of a good write up on turbo rebuild?
