i blew my turbo on my 05 evo 8 and am ready to replace it. how do i take off the stock turbo can i do it from underneath or do i have to take out the turbo manifold off whitch would bring the turbo with it. someone plaese help i want to start work today. pretty much i need some instructions on emoving the turbo

 

bump for this guy

 

i removied all the bolts from the turbo manifold. i think theres like 4 on top on one on the bottom and 2 on the sides but dont know where to go from here any advides would be appreciated plz

 

umm, search?

-drain coolant and oil
-unbolt downpipe from o2 housing
-unbolt oil return line from oil pan
-remove all manifold-to-head bolts
-unbolt oil feed line from head
-unhook turbo coolant feed and return line
-I would unbolt the turbo-to-manifold bolts and pull off the manifold, but not necessary
-out she comes!

 

If your using the stock O2 housing dont forget the other bolt that holds the bracket off the stock O2 housing to the block

 

check "hotside remove " or o2 remove in the forum "how to".

a while back I tried a search for turbo remove and gave up after reading about ten pages of none relevant titles.

 

i need pictures im so newb but i think with these forums and pictures i have a chance of being able to do it myself so anyone got pics? i can post pics of what i got done if nessary so that i can get the next step

did you try to look, it was right under your own post

 

I would plop a large drain pan under the turbo area, drain the coolant. And pop the drain tube at the pan. Then get to work on top with all the manifold nuts. Liquid wrench can be of major assistance here. Get the top heat shield off, and o2 sensor unplugged or out of the o2. Detach the coolant hoses from the hard lines coming off of the turbo. I popped the 4 turbo - manifold bolts for more play in the setup. Remove the banjo bolt from the head (oil feed line)

Then go under and take off the LICP from the compressor outlet. I left my j-pipe on. While you're back under the car remove the 14mm bolt that holds the 02 housing to the block. (small bracket) Back on top pop your upper rad hose off of the radiator and tuck it out of the way for a second.

You should be able to lift it straight out the top almost complete.

Don't forget the vacuum line to the wastegate.

 

i would bring it to a shop

 

i removed everything i think but it still doesnt come out im not trying to force it out but it feels like it wont budge. so far i have removed all nine bolts on the manifold. both hoses coming from the turbo. the 2 bolts on the down pipe/cat back both heat sheilds the intake side of the turbo and i disconnected the inercooler from the otherside of the turbo at the squishy pipe.

i know im so newb thats its not funny and prob shoundnt do this myself but i know if i take my time and dont force anything i can do this myself.

 

ima post pics tommorow if i cant get it off tonight

 

did you get the bolt in pic 14, sort of on the back side of the o2 housing?

It wasn't on my car due to prior work but maybe it is still there on yours.

 

ok upon further inspection it looks like underneath the turbo im guessing its the oil line and the oil return line but how do i remove them. im guessing from under the car on the turbo i felt bolts or do i remve them from the engine side

 

What all did you pull off?
