Ok well i dont know how or why but when removing my exhaust manifold i snapped one of the bolts where it bolts up to the turbo. So im going to remove the turbo to remove the bolt and possibly re-tap the bolt hole. After removing the downpipe and the oil lines to the turbo as well as the intake, what else do i need to remove for instance is there a bracket to the block or anything? this is my first time removing it so any advice is appreciated thanks in advance guys.

 

Should have done more research BEFORE you started.

 

well thats no help not even worth the reply thanks for nothing

 

Don't mention it.

 

actually i have to laugh at that even though it was a jerkoff reply

 

now how bout some help slappy

 

I was going to help,but now that you called be "slappy" forget about it.

 

oh stop if you were then you WOULD have slappy

 

Possibly the starter. That is about all I can think of off the top of my head. Might be easier to pull the whole manifold though. You may have a repeat of the other bolts if you don't soak them with penetration type of stuff.

 

there is on bolt right under the turbo just incase you dont know yet! other than that is just all about removing the bolts of the exhaust manifold, disconneting oil lines, one on top, 1 on the oil pan, vacuunm lines, and some coolant lines on top. last thing the Lower Intercooler Pipe... if i miss other thing, others can chime in


to make it easy drain your coolant and pull the Radiator out

 

thanks for the help

 

no prob

 

any follow-up on this, how hard was it? Need to remove mine too and would appreciate any hints.

 

for ease of taking out the turbo drain then take out the radiator... other than that it just like the above posts, the coolant lines, oil return lines, exhaust manifold, downpipe, and it sould come out with ease...

 

i am probably late on this but you can easily remove the hot side of the turbo without removing the turbo in the car. Just remove the v-band clamp and nicely tap the hotside off the center section. It is pretty much a guaranty that either one of the two bolts or two nuts on the exhaust mani to hotside with seize or strip. I have never seen anyone remove the exhaust mani without having this problem, myself included.
