I bought a 2nd hand rebuilt T3/T4 Hybrid by Garrett off a friend "http://www.jshop.com.au"

anyway I need help to take the turbo off I have the head shild off and the pipes and shit off.

I need to know where to go from here as from when I look at it the screws are in shit house pos, and some seem to be blocked by the turbo.

Also some of the screws are not comming loose I guess a little CRC on them will help and a little knock with the hammer to get the rust out.

can somebody please guide me...

cheers

unscrew the oil drain clamps from underneath the turbo - that ones easy

then use a socket set to get the other 3 eye bolts off (oil in, water in/out) not much oil will come out but coolant will spew out

the water line at the top/back of the housing next to the exhaust manifold is the hardest to access, i unscrewed the 4 turbo to ex manifold bolts most of the thread so the turbo came forward a bit to give room to get a socket/ratchet back there

then i actually undid the two bolts on the flange between the front pipe and cat and took the turbo/front pipe all off like a snake out the engine bay :P did this cause the 6 bolts onto the dump looked easier to get off with more room

yeh the ones to the dump seem to snap a bit (didnt for me) but i found those 6 pretty easy cause i had the whole turbo/dump out of the car to take them off, i replaced all those studs/nuts when the new turbo went on might be a good idea (from gcg)

the 4 nuts to the ex manifold come off pretty easy with 17mm ring spanner they wont be a prob

    • Thanks both. All good advice. Reminds me of drilling through stone wall for drainage pipe 馃槵 I'll let you know how I get on if I still have use of my hands afterwards 馃槄
    • Finally got shipping number for the intake and throttle body, shipped by UPS, so "should" be in my hands sometime next week, fingers fracking crossed
    • I'm so far behind in the jobs I have to do at both work and home (including car) that I have become immortal. There's simply no way that I can die now.
    • Each to their own I guess  Me, I put just as much time into cleaning inside of the cars as I do on the outside As for getting wet, it is really no different than steam cleaning the carpets at home, apart from the cars carpet dries alot faster than the house, again, I only do it in the hotter months and leave the car opened up for a few hours As I only do it yearly, it is just before I do the diff and gearbox service, so I clean the carpets, then it's up on stands, wheels off, service, clean the undercarriage,  grease the bushings and do a nut and bolt check on everything  Disclaimer: I typically had all the time in the world to kill when I was working 馃ぃ, so spending a full day or 2 cleaning, serving and "looking at stuff" was,  easily achievable, and a fun mental therapy day As for time to kill, I retired last Wednesday, so apart from my physical training, my days are filled with lots of random jobs around the house and garden...."Idle hands are the Devils something something" I am also buying a new house sooner rather than later, I'm actually looking at a potential property tomorrow, I'm looking forward to getting a car hoist as I'm starting to get to old to crawl around under a car, I can only imagine all the undercarriage cleaning and looking at stuff when that gets set up
    • Yeah, I'm not interested in wetting the carpets, and I don't care about brown dirt/dust that lives deep in the pile or underneath. It's not like I crawl around on them in my birthday suit or eat dropped food off them (because there is never any open food in my car). The seats are alcantara (cheap Chinese imitation alcantara, to be sure!) with barely 1" of foam pad behind the surface. That's not getting wet either. Any car that I would be happy to get the interior wet, I would not care to put the effort into.
