I saw there are 3 thread about replacing o2 housing on how to do board. Which way is easiest and quickest to replace o2 housing? One with the picture had to do with removing some bolts from header but isnt that dangerous? really dont want to take out header because i dont have guage and dont know if i'm losing boost or not.

btw getting boost soon(but dont know what to get)

 

i removed the manifold when I installed my o2 housing, why would it be dangerous if some bolts are removed? just tight them afterward.

 

I pulled the entire turbo assembly. It was a good choice too because my O2 was kind of a pain to fit. I ended up having to bore out some of the holes for better alignment. I couldn't imagine the headache this would cause trying to fit something like that without having the turbo on the bench with you.

 

I attemted to do it on the car but it was to hard to break bolts free so I wound up taking the turbo off. I also replaced the header at the same time. As long as the gasket isnt damaged it wont leak if you tighten all the bolts

 

can't you just take the hotside of the turbo off leaving the comprssor side and center section all hooked up still?

 

Is it easy to do it? I stripped the o2 housing so I'll be ordering new one soon. How long does it take?

 

Did it without removing Radiator or Manifold.. got a few fints bent on the radiator now >:[.

If I had to do it again I would remove the Radiator.. I don't see a need to remove the manifold at all.
