ATS turbo housing, can I install myself?

[kolb02]

Just wanted to know how long this takes and how hard this is? I have a lot of tools and do do a lot of stuff on my own but never on a diesel. It's a 2001 powerstroke. Any info on this would be great.
Thanks,
Brett

The new diesel power magazine has an awesome article step by step how to rebuild ur turbo. Hope that may help, Also has an awesome 1000 hp 7.3 in it

Im prety sure you just unbolt the old and bolt on the new one. There are alot of people on here that have them so im sure they will be with you shortly.

Hey Kolb it is really pretty simple & only special tool is 1/4" drive u-joint to get the lower bolts out. The bolts are 12point, I can't remember the size maybe 8mm . Marty has a video on here to install Wicked-Wheel & it has it all on there.

So probably easier than a wheel cause you don't have to change that? Just unbolt and bolt on correct?

Yea 30mins- hour & you should be done,BTW if you forget to put clamp to Y-pipe you can just screw the worm off & slip it on. Don't ask how I know.
