So I need to check out the condition of the Hotside impeller but don't really want to remove the turbo, down pipe etc etc. is there any way to just removing the cold side and Hotside impeller together? Maybe removing the clamp in the middle?

 

remove intake, remove lower ic pipe, remove downpipe, remove oil drain line from turbo and pan, unbolt turbo from manifold and slide to the right. don't be lazy, you'll be sorry.

 

remove front o2 sensor , borescope in through o2 sensor hole

 

maybe take off the o2 housing

 

It's honestly easier to unbolt the down pipe and lines then remove the manifold turbo and o2 housing all together

 

Genius !

 

rent borescope at rental maxx,cause HD don't have it for rent.

 

They sell them on Ebay, borescope with LEDs, its USB powered and plugs right into a laptop and brings the driver. $12 !

 

crazy deal! lol

 

There's a diy on YouTube by don'tstopme that is the name of the user there you shall find how to remove the turbo,transfer case and such on there.

 

I wish I would have though of that, I'm buying one today lol.

 

It only takes about an 1.5 hours to remove the turbo if you know all the steps. If you have a Evo 8 turbo and it has a lot of miles it might be a good idea to remove the turbo and the 02 housing and replace all the gaskets. Exhaust leaks rob power.
