Posted on the other thread for you, but I do it slightly differently from above, but close enough: headers first, then bolt up-pipe to headers, up-pipe top flange to engine mounting brackets, turbo onto inlet pipe and sitting on top of oil drain hose, drop turbo down onto the three up-pipe studs, downpipe back on last.

use a jubilee clip on the rubber pipe to stop it sliding down the "metal pipe on the engine" before fitting
you can then just press the turbo down and it will slip in

this lark of sliding in really didnt work PMSL. i had to do it the other way round. Its all on and working tryed it on boost once but only to .3bar as its had lots done and no map to suit
The Exhaust is blowing slightyly but ill take it to the garge as its a right bitch to tighten them all......
Apart from that were in business.
Just wondered if i spilt lotd of anti freeze on the engine and it was steaming its little **** off when i wen tofr test drive i nearly cryed pulled over let it run for 10 misn and all went away did a up to oil pressure and tempuatre drivign brought her hoem and will look for leeks tomorrow

LOL mine did the same, I thought it was knackered then realised it was all the steam from the coolant I'd spilt when I'd topped it back up. None of the exhaust system bolts are tighter than 35-40 Nm. I've always put mine back together with a little exhaust paste and 35Nm comes out the same as as 'hand tight as possible' on a 14mm ring spanner. Doesn't need to be any tighter. If it's leaking, try exhaust paste or make sure your gaskets are nice and flat.

we must have out wires crossed somewhere
the oil return pipe on the turbo is metal, thisslips into a rubber pipe that is fitted to anotehr metal pipe on the engine
leave the rubber pipe on the engine side but use a clip to clamp it in place on the metal pipe, this stops the rubber pipe from going anywhere, the turbo then just slips into place, you can then use some pliers to bring the spring clip up to seal it
its a doddle, last time i swapped my turbo i had it done in 1 hour 45mins
