Hi ive just changed my down pipe on my impreza classic and one of the nuts seized holding it to the turbo and had to cut through the stud. At the moment its holding together with out one bolt. How easy is it to take the turbo off and if I do is it possible to replace the bolt with a new one? I have searched on line for instructions on how to take a turbo off but can’t find anything.

turbo is pretty easy, just the uppipe bolts are just gonna be as bad as the downpipe ones are. oil and water pipes are stright forward.

what bolt is the broken one? i broke one of mine off, the one on the underside of the pipe. i replaced the gasket with the new one and its fine missing the one bolt, no blowing or anything.

it dosent seem to be blowing just know its missing.

im planning on changing the turbo on mine soon so thats why i havent bothered fixing the broken bolt. if its playing on your mind so to speak then its not a huge job to remove the turbo.

can i remove it without putting the car on ramps? does the stud screw in the body of the turbo ?

is there any diagrams anywhere or step by step instructions?
