Well I guess this weekend either Friday night or Saturday morning I'm going to break down and tear the Turbo out! I will let you all know how it turns out post some picture on here. That thing is going to be a pain in the a$$ to take out :/
It's not that bad. Spray all the up pipe bolts now and and keep spraying them so they come out easier.
That bottom coolant line looks like its going to be real fun lol but i will spray it all down with some pb blaster everyday til then so it isnt too bad. :thumb:
Well everything is loose except the dang manifold bolts they are on there good! I have been spraying them down and they still wont come loose! Not enough room for much leverage back there lol. And I can't get the downpipe all the way out with the rest of my exhaust in the way so I'm am working around it. Anyone got any ideas on how to get them manifold bolts out? O and the intake wheel is f#@ked so I am going to have to flush the ic and boost test it :banghead:
unbolt the glowplug controller to get it out of the way, downpipe fits out the driverside of the turbo
I didn't know that black bow was a glow plug controller I guess you learn something everyday lol thanks I will give that a try.
If I were u I wouldn't get lope smoke tunes! I have em on my truck and I think it is making my injectors go off balance not sure yet though but it started messing up when I got on it hard on lope smoke tune.
You have the down pipe out right?
You go over the top of the turbo, 12mm 12 point socket & short extension
I use a craftsman 1/2" flex head ratchet on the down pipe & up pipe bolts
The downpipe still wont come out all the way! it hits the firewall. And im just taking my time taking it out cause its not like i have 3500 dollars floating around like everyone else. I got everything off except those bottom bolts on the up pipes and the coolant line underneath im going to try and get that after I can move it a little bit!
it comes out one way and one way only (unless you cut it). brian and i messed with mine for longer than we should have and finally got it out. take the tranny dip stick out (if you havnt) and grab yourself a BFH (big f'in hammer) and give it a few taps one way or the other. We had to keep massaging it back and forth to get it to come out. it will come out between the passenger side head and firewall. the part you unbolted from the turbo needs to pushed out from the bolts and then down and you also pull the bottom of the pipe toward the passenger side head as you do this. the bolted part of the pipe has to be below the turbo before you can get it out. Seems like the 01-02s have a tougher time comin out
Thanks i will try that tm when i get off work. There is no way that big a$$ pipe was coming out the drivers side for sure. And i was going to take the dipstick tube loose cause the bottom flange is catching on it. Thanks
Yeah i just yanked mine out. makes it easier. I assume you have your passenger side wheel liner out too? If you also unbolt the trans mount and put a jack under the t-case and lift as high as you can without smashing the electrical connectors it should help you some too. i didnt do it but of course i thought of that after the fact
I could unbolted the mount and let the trans down and I could get to them manifold bolts too with a 3ft ext. And a swivel socket. But thanks I will get back at it this weekend and try that thanks again
Anyone recommend any fuel upgrades i should get with trents twin kit? i really dont wanna bend rods or anything though!
