How hard is it to change a turbo on a 2006 ? and how many hours does it usually take ? Looks hard ?
LBZ: Turbo swap
- Thread starter butch2000
- Start date
check out a thread I started a while back called "just three bolts"
cuz there's only three 17mm bolts that hold the turbo down.
it's not all that difficult of a job, I've done it several times now. the first time it took me about 3-4 hours to remove and about 3 to install again. this last time it took me a little over an hour to remove and I'm still waiting to afford the replacement, so I haven't bolted another one in yet

there's several other threads on the forum about removing a VGT turbo, with the info here you shouldn't have a problem tackling this task

Was that with the engine in or out of the truck. Because it took me 6-7 hrs to get mine out in the truck. And about that long to get it back in. I'm sure I could do it faster now, but doing it for the first time is a PAIN to get all the uppipe bolts out.
2 are easy to get at. Third is a bitch. Most miss the third one the first time it seems.
Paint...lmao

real f**kin funnybut ya 3 days seems about right
Would have been a week if we all hadn't been there to help you get it off and you and Chris hadn't ran out of beer!!:rofl:
The reason I was going to change the turbo is, I am having the recurring code P2564 , turbo boost control position , the vanes are sticking ? and it has a lot of miles on it ? unless someone has a fix for this ? I was going to replace the turbo .
Chances are it's leaking a small amount of oil on the exhaust side and coking up the vanes...
