Hey guys,

as some of you may know I've recently joined the M35 blown turbo club (not very exclusive these days). Anyways, I'm trying to find out as much information as possible on removing the turbo to aid the mechanic working on it, so I can have my car back with the least amount of hassle. I've seen a thread where one the whole sub frame was dropped, is this really neccessary? Others have said it's possible to remove the turbo without dropping the engine, and some have said it can almost be done except for one bolt. Is there a definitive answer for the best way to remove the turbo?

I'm sure these answers are already on the forum, but dropping the gearbox slightly allows access to the turbo. There are things you need to do before doing this however so you will need to do a search.

Someone did this very recently so I'm sure you will find recent information on how to do it. If you require further information get in touch with Jetwreck (Craig), he is an expert at this now :banana:

      Ha ha ha! I know those feels mate I've finally got the garage cleared enough that next weekend I'll do some actual work on my car (hopefully). Unfortunately garage isn't usable after 10am at the moment That said, I've done a lot of work this weekend on helping finalise a friend's Production Race car. Full started Christmas Eve. We're down to about 8 tasks on the list, including "get a wheel alignment". Sometimes it's just easier working on someone else's car or project than our own stuff 😛

      Ha ha, ended up going it alone.  I just sent it (in a very nervous fashion).  Once I'd released the locks and it didn't automatically start spinning out of control i felt a bit more confident.   It made some loud sounds (cracking and creaking noises) when I first spun it which got the heart rate going again!  I couldn't bring myself to leave it tipped on the side.  I feel a bit more comfortable having back right side up while it sits there. I'd get angry with your last point but you're 100% correct! 😅 Even yesterday I managed to distract myself at numerous times to make a bracket to fit an LED flood light off the back of the house and fix my sons pushbike.  There were other little taks nibbling at my brain for the rest of the day too...

      Probably one of the more nerve wracking experiences of my entire life! 😂😂 The balance (centre of gravity) is out still but in a direction that gives me comfort!   It's quite bottom heavy still meaning it takes a bit of muscle to rotate it.  The plus side of that is that it wants to to go back to upright.  Better that than wanting to go all stranded turtle on me!
