Everyone's telling lies. Fact is that one of the nuts that holds the up pipe to the turbo CANNOT be undone with the dump pipe in place. The dump pipe must come off. You could leave the turbo on the car, sitting on the bracket, the drain hose, oil pipe and the inlet pipe but I would advise you not to for the following 2 reasons. 1/ Getting the up pipe out from under it will require the DS exhaust manifold to be removed, which is just as hard as removing the turbo from that point in the process. 2/ The turbo needs inspecting anyway. |

Interesting to see that the 2 walk-throughs on youtube keep the turbo in place and take off the DS exhaust manifold.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DJSxM...eature=related (grimspeed walk-through, starts talking bout exhaust manifold at 2:00) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VFQV1...eature=related (part 1) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rAy9-...eature=related (part 2, wasn't recorded but guy says he has taken off exhaust manifold but snapped a bolt in the process) Will be going through this process myself once I have saved up enough cash for a tune (+fuel pump and other supporting mods). Keep us posted on how it goes! |
