hi 1998 uk turbo R reg

any help appreciated
im stuck solid trying to remove turbo inlet pipe as mine is knackered

i have managed to remove all pipes attatched to the pipe but can not get it out as the inlet manifold is in the way

i have looked at taking off inlet manifold to help remove the pipe but there is to much stuff around the area and i cant even see all the bolts

i cant afford a upgraded pipe which would be easier to bend around to put back in place so i cant even cut old one out as i need to get another in its place

if any one has step by step info on removing this pipe please help

car off road till done

cheers everyone

 

Got my old one off and new one on in no time at all mate , just need to fiddle a little



fitted a perrin one instead of the standard item

 

perrin silly money and how did you get old one off?

 

Got to take the manifold off I'm afraid. Had to do mine, looks daunting but it's not too bad. You'll need a reasonable socket set and just go about it in order. Intercooler off, unplug all loom connectors from battery side, ht leads, pipes to throttle body, fuel supply pipes (from filter) some pipes and electrical connectors under the manifold before you lift it. Might need new manifold gaskets whilst you are at it.

 

Just found this in my inlet removal research, hope it helps https://www.scoobynet.com/general-te...-manifold.html

 

Perrin item also bigger and gives better flow into the turbo , once all pipe work was off i just wriggled it free , took about ten minutes to change over and never took off manifold either

 

intercooler off?

isnt that mounted to front grill area ?

surely thats not in way i hope

 

excellent cheers for info hope its as easy as it says
