I am going to change out my turbo for another stock turbo. I was wondering how har it is to swap out the turbo? How much work is envolved?

 

unhook all connections on it. remove turbo. place in new turbo. reconnect all things you previously disconnected.

 

hahaha if only it was that easy.

-move power steering reservoir out of the way
-disconnect downpipe from o2 housing
-disconnect hotpipe and intake connections
-disconnect oil and coolant lines
-remove turbo/manifold/wg/o2housing assembly
-remove turbo from manifold and o2 housing

-reverse install.

it sucks.

 

takes about 5-6 hours... had mine done a bit sooner though... while you are at it make sure all the nuts n bolts are locked up tite and replace the gaskets while you are at it...

 

just had it done at X A T sat.... it's alot of work but not to hard .
if you got to ask let them do it ...
good work isn't cheap
and cheap work isn't good .....

 

have fun with those hard lines (coolant and oil)

 

some times expensive work isnt good work.

 

true

 

sometimes my friend sean works at xat , he is a close friend of mine, sometimes he helps me on car stuff... sometimes he works at xat... sometimes as long as u have basic knowledge of location of the lines, how to get the manifold off etc you shhould be able to do the turbo swap on your own...

 

sometimes they dont have sean work on cars..lol
