haven't had a look yet but my ex used to do them at home so can't be too hard right?

hah yeh try to get ANYTHING done right before easter long weekend.. not happening.. seems easier to do it myself as usual, besides then when something is fckd I know what it is :) I don't have to go back in there 500 times to get them to fix their crap...

i have never seen a car u can change a pad without removing the caliper. Do they exist?

Look its pretty easy

remove wheel

undo 2 bolts that hold caliper on and remove

unclip and remove pads

push pistons back in, helps if you remove the reservoir cap

put in new pads and refit calipers

also, if I don't take it to a good friend.. they will *guaranteed* tell me I need new rotors, whether I do or not, AND I need to mount a speedboat onto my radiator fan because otherwise a wheel bearing will go flying out of the passenger footwell and take out the fuel pump on it's way..

If I even try to argue that logic a little bit then they become defensive real quick.. randoms are unable to do exactly what they're asked and only that.. guaranteed they will find an african elephant in an intake pipe that needs a new turbo to fix, because I'm a woman, what would I know??

    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt 
    • So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm. 
    • Wouldn’t touch par if they gave it to me. You need to ask how much power you’re looking to make and then add about 50% to it because that’s what you’ll end up making  The factory box says no more at about 350kw or so, the upgraded synchro boxes won’t handle much over 500kw for long and at that point you’re looking at an auto or dog engagement manual,  once you’ve gone dog engagement you may as well go sequential, they cost a little bit more but it’s worth it  also while you’re at it you should upgrade the transfer case with 10 friction plates
