hi peeps got classic turbo. how hard is replacing it 1 - 10. remap soon an wondering if its a pain or easy

 

if you have some mechanical knowledge its p**s easy i would give it 3 out of ten .

 

i have yea but not much. want to save on cash putting it in but do u know if oil or water has to be drained to do it.

 

It is realatively easy (just bolts, gaskets & pipes) but no point cutting corners to save cash if you then stuff it up and have to spend more cash on repairs. I'd get as much advice as you can (why you started this post obviously) first before attempting it. Make sure you prime the new turbo, trial fit, I'd drain all the oil & water (fresh is best) and make sure you have a mate who can help you if you need it.

 

yea mate thanks for that. i have people who will help an will do oil change an water at same time. while im there to i changing spark plugs also. and while the turbo being changed an new set of kakumei headers an uppipe is going on an new gaskets. its blowing at mo an leakin water through d/p gasket so hope get rid of the chu chu train blowing noise
