[twiztid1981]

ok so im tryin to pull my turbo out i got the clamps off the dwn pipe an the pipe in the back...what else is there i got the oil line off , i can only see one bolt that may be holding the turbo to the pedistol, is there a write up or does anyone got some pics i just need some one to point me in the right direction

there are 3 10mm bolts holding down the turbo, two towards the front and one hidden, in the back , have fun with that one , turbo can be a little aggrivating to get out and in

yeah its not a lil agravating its alot ...i snaped my damn socket tryin to get that front one out...it looks like it may have been taken out before there seems to be a bolt missing so i think im just left with two bolts

Sounds like your having one heck of a day. Sorry to hear, hang in there. Have you sprayed anything yet? Get a torch and heat up the bolt.

Glad you got it done! Just curious why you pulled your turbo!?!?!

Putting it back in is more fun loosen the up pipes on both sides to get the up pipe re alligned w/ turbo exhaust inlet. I spent a day trying to get it to line up before a nice old salt gave me that handy bit of info.
