RB25 Bolt-on Turbo from MaXspeedingRods Install Guide

This is an install guide for the bolt-on budget turbo from MaXspeedingRods. 

1. Let the engine cool down and prepare to drain the coolant from the radiator. Drain the coolant from the radiator and get as much coolant out as possible. Jack up the front of the car and safely put it on jack stands.

2. Remove the Dump Pipe from the turbo. Spray some penetrating oil on the 6 bolts on the dump pipe and the 2 bolts on the catalytic converter.

3. remove all the inter cooler pipes including the J-Pipe. remove any vacuum hoses that's connected to the inter cooler pipe and turbo. Unbolting the power steering reservoir from the strut tower can be helpful for more space.

4. Remove the Exhaust manifold heat shield. Spray some penetrating oil on the turbo oil and coolant line bolts. Start with the Oil Lines. Remove the banjo bolt from the oil feed line. Remove both on the turbo and the side of the engine block. Remove the 2 Bolts on the Flange for the Oil Drain line and the banjo bolt that's connected on side of the engine block.. Once All the Oil Lines are removed start with the Coolant Lines. Remove the coolant feed and coolant drain. AVOID getting coolant on the Oil Drain line.

5. Unbolt the 4 bolts that's holding the turbo from the exhaust manifold. Again Spray some penetrating oil to avoid snapping the studs and to make it easier unbolting the bolts. Once unbolted the turbo should be able to detached and removed.

6. Install the new turbo and start with bolting it on the Exhaust Manifold. Connect All the Oil and Coolant lines and MAKE SURE TO USE NEW COPPER WASHERS. Torque the Banjo Bolts to OEM Specification to avoid leaks.

7. Install the dumpipe to the new turbo and connect it back to the rest of the exhaust system.

8. The new turbo doesn't have the 3 bolt 90 degree elbow that is found on the factory turbo on the compressor side. You can either weld a 90 degree elbow on it or simply just buy a 2 inch to a 2.5 inch 90 degree silicone elbow.

9. The new turbo intake inlet is a 3 inch compare to the factory 2.5 inch inlet. Install a 90 degree 3 inch pipe with silicone joiners and connect it with the afm and pod filter.

10. Install all the vacuum hoses and inter cooler pipe plus j pipe on and make sure all the clamps are tight to avoid boost leaks.

11. Fill the radiator with coolant and bleed the system. Top up the oil if needed and the car is ready to start.
