Replacing All The Turbo/exhaust Gaskets... Help

[chef_stagea]

hey all... finaly got off my ass and did somthing bout my custom turbo that vents to atmosphere! lol... the gaskets were shagged and sounded like a tractor! many will agree!

today we got all the cooler, intake and other pipes out the way. took out the 1st turbos manifold bolts, and some of the 2nd, the front pipe, and unbolted the turbo to manifold bolts... the coolant and oil lines (2 of each..)of the 1st turbo... how ever the turbo still wouldnt come off the manifold... there was sum heat sheild underneath the turbo that gave us a little bit more movement but not all thats left in the way is the o2 sensor.

it ended up being a missing bolt on the front dump, loose rear dump bolts, and a few other loose ones aswell! is there any other hints any wants to share its actualy not that hard once you start going tho i spose!

thanx guys!

It sounds like they've been removed before. Although the factory bolts aren't usually super tight after 10+ years, they don't have a habit of falling out...

Glad you found the issue - you'll be amazed how quiet the engine will be once you've fixed it!

get some locking tabs before you go doing everything up again, will help prevent them from working loose again
