All fairly straight forward mate.

Just be carefull with the studs on the turbo, snap em off and you will have a whole world of trouble! Soak everything in release agent before hand.

Good luck!

i`m with Dizzy on this one. it`s a pain in the *** unless you`ve got a ramp/pit. finaly got mine sorted out today. let someone else cut bang there hands . i found the heat sheeld the bigest pain, the bolts on the turbo were`nt too bad.

Cool

Cheers guys.
I must have been lucky cos it all came off ok, heat sheild probably took most amount of time.
Sounds AWESOME, goes quite well too...

Take it to the dealers. I know loads of people that has had drama trying to do it, snapped turbo bolts, broken lambda sensors...... They know what they're doing.

Oh and when you do have it fitted don't turn the stereo on anymore

Question

Just popping out to get a Scoobysport downpipe, anyone got any tips for fitting or know where I can find some ?
Cheers in advance

Oh yeah, and has anyone used lagging instead of the heat shield ?
