Turbo swap ?

[Lennart]

What is the worst part of it? I managed to remove the downpipe and the up-pipes, gave up for today with the install of new up-pipes. Does it get any worse than that?

I did have to :argue: with a few bolts! Figuring out how to get the drivers side up-pipe out is a nice one, too!

you should be good to go... but when we did my turbo we didn't have to remove the driverside up pipe

Lennart the worst is pretty much over
the 3 bolts for the turb can be a PIA but nothing like the up pipes

what are you changing to?

I am keeping my turbo....just installing TxC up-pipes and a Diamond eye down pipe.....with all these parts off, I wish I had a new turbo here as well.....
Need to have the truck running in two weeks, there is a 1/4 mile race only a coulpe miles away from home.
Need to get into the 12.xx this year, the goal I have been aiming for.

The worst part is over, putting the uppipes and diamond eye back in should tgake half the time as taking it out

FWIW, use some anti-seaze on the uppipe bolts if your have even the slightest idea that you will ever remove them again; and you will ; these bolts will be just as tight or tighter the 2nd time around as the 1st.

Thanks, will do!
More than likely I will do the turbo some time.....need to get the fueling upgraded first, though.
