I managed to change it yesterday. quite straight forward in the end.
10mm spanner for heat shield. Then off with the intercooler to get the shield out!
7/8" for exhaust sensor. What is this sensor???
14mm spanner for exhaust/turbo joint. These all came away pretty easy. Not seized on which i was worried about. But soaked all bolts before removing.
Put my original exhaust back on and i must say its quite nice to have a quiet exhaust!! took for a run round the block and parked up with smoke billowing from my bonnet!! But i knew it was just from all the rust release liquid being burnt off on the turbo!
My motor runs so much smoother now!!! How is that possible??
When putting on say a 3" straight thru system(no cats) Do you have to reprogramme the ECU or something?????
Just a few thoughts and questions
