8G5L0T Posted April 24, 2007 Report Share Posted April 24, 2007 For those of you that have taken your turbos off, did you take the exhaust manifold off with it or just the turbo? Is one way easier than the other? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is one way easier than the other?just the turbo, it'd be a PITA to take the manifold off w/ the turbo on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boosted5cyl Posted April 24, 2007 Report Share Posted April 24, 2007 how long to get the 16T off Greg ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8G5L0T Posted April 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2007 thats what i was thinking. it just doesnt look like there is alot of room to manuever the turbo out of the manifold. wish me luck with the new turbo today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gdizzle Posted April 24, 2007 Report Share Posted April 24, 2007 how long to get the 16T off Greg ?depends on your skills/tools. It took me about 45min if that IIRC. 3 bolts on the down pipe, 4 bolts holding the turbo to the manifold(2 have to be removed from under the car), 2 oil return bolts, 3 banjo bolts, 2 vac lines, turbo inlet pipe, and UPICP have to be removed. If you have a strut brace, take that off too depending on the turbo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The water line that sits over top of the oil return line has a banjo fitting, it gets a copper crush washer on both sides of it, turbo side and bolt head side.banjo bolt and crush washers..banjo fitting, notice washer on both sides..

550 Posted April 25, 2007 Report Share Posted April 25, 2007 took me about 2 hours my first time. Had some snags, took turbo off only. BUy new crush washers, as you will probably lose them in your bucket of oil and cooant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
