hey all... finaly got off my ass and did somthing bout my custom turbo that vents to atmosphere! lol... the gaskets were shagged and sounded like a tractor! many will agree!

today we got all the cooler, intake and other pipes out the way. took out the 1st turbos manifold bolts, and some of the 2nd, the front pipe, and unbolted the turbo to manifold bolts... the coolant and oil lines (2 of each..)of the 1st turbo... how ever the turbo still wouldnt come off the manifold... there was sum heat sheild underneath the turbo that gave us a little bit more movement but not all thats left in the way is the o2 sensor.

it ended up being a missing bolt on the front dump, loose rear dump bolts, and a few other loose ones aswell! is there any other hints any wants to share :) its actualy not that hard once you start going tho i spose!

thanx guys!

It sounds like they've been removed before. Although the factory bolts aren't usually super tight after 10+ years, they don't have a habit of falling out...

Glad you found the issue - you'll be amazed how quiet the engine will be once you've fixed it!

      WGNC34 - floor mats

      Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car

      All my Polish car culture insight comes from watching Nightride. So I half expect this to get 1UZ swapped eventually?! Are you going to drive it in winter? I'm always curious how ATTESA would hold up in the snow. There isn't that much opportunity to try it in Australia.
