I've done it once, as it's one turbo and pretty easy to access, it should be rather straightforward. Most of the muss anfd fuss comes from the oil and water lines, but as long as you can sort those properly, then it's really just a matter of getting the intake out of the way, pulling the heat shields, then unbolting the turbo.

tying the exhaust in place with some wire will make the other end of the turbo easy - forgot to do that, then was wondering why the turbo weighed so much more than I had remembered :laugh:

theyre water line bolts mate.

you'll need a big ass wrench. the one i got here is (i think) 1" or 26mm. both should work.

easiest way to get it off would be to keep the turbo connected to your exhaust (still bolted to your dump pipe), if you've got a solid mount for the exhaust under the car, loosen it so you can move the dump pipe with the turbo back and forth off the exhaust manifold.

pull the turbo off the manifold, get the wrench and undo the bolts. then you can undo the dump pipe bolts.

What he said, but i thought they were 24mm, its either or its a wierd messurement thats all i know, but yeah best keep turbo attached for a solid mount so more leverage can be applied, good luck and have fun

my bad, i just checked. its 24mm.

you wont do much damage to the water lines if you move them around, the one on the inside connects to a rubber hose which gives it some movement, and the one on the outside is connected to a bracket so you wont move it so far that it cant be pushed back.

all is good i just used a 24mm socket an was a peice of piss, an disconnected the water line that runs around the back of the head from the tube, but the bad thing is the tube has now busted os wat do i do here?

Go to pirtek and get one made up the same as the one you busted.

think GTST turbos are bad. take a shot at GTR turbos.

u getting it highflowed?

well since i bought my car from a dealership i have 3yrs warranty on my car

so my turbo is covered to a certin extent, but it does cover all internal components an housings so,

wat ever they choose to do to it isnt up to me, its up the the warrenty group.

    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.
