everythins is unbolted except of the two very large bolts that are on opposite sides does anyone kno wat size these nuts/bolts are, the ones coming off the oil lines.

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

Easy as job mate.

this is crap the to oil line bolts that are on either side of the turbo wont come off, stupid things everything else is done, anyone care to gives me a helping hand.

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.

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

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.
