I was wondering if anyone had any step by step pictures of the installation of the 03 evo turbo. taking the old one off and putting the new 09 on. I have the install kit for the 09

 

Take a look at the stickies in the installation/how tos part of evom. There's a couple in there about sswapping o2 housings which is easier to remove the manifold and turbo and so it is included with pictures. Its not hard to do once you do it once or twice, but since its your first time be prepared for the unexpected.

Just remove all the ex manifold nuts they should all be 12mm I think with the two on the end being 14mm, jack up the car after disconnecting the battery, undo the down pipe bolts from the o2 housing and from the cat/test pipe and remove completely. Go back up top and undo the oil feed from the head which is on the right side. Should be a 17mm or 18mm. Then remove the coolant lines by the block using pliers. Go back under the car with something to catch the oil, and using a 10mm undo the oil drain. It
has two bolts. Allow the oil to drain while your waiting grab some cardboard and shove between the radiator and manifold. Once coolant and oil drain pull it out and wiggle the manifold/turbo/o2 housing all still together out. Once its out the manifold and o2 housing can be taken off and just reverse the steps to get it together.

Pb blaster is your best friend especially on manifold bolts and studs and o2 housing. My first time I broke bolts off in the housing and a 3 to 4 hour job turned into a nightmare of a week trying to get it out.

 

^forgot to mention its alot easier if you drain the oil and coolant before hand. I didn't and made quite a mess as I didn't expect much to come out of the turbo and drain but I was wrong.

 

There is actually a youtube video that is quite helpful. If I can find it again, Ill post it for you
