turbo removel
« on: 03 August 2012, 20:11 »
It looks a pain in the rear, Any advice?

Need to drill out the studs for the downpipe.



Is the exhaust housing part of the manifold or do they seperate?

Many thanks

That link doesnt work mate,

Daz since you have done this already, can you confirm the exhaust housing is or isnt part of the manifold?

Never, ever again, What a ball ache!

It would be easier and quicker to drop the engine off the mounts and do the turbo on the floor
