hi guys ive heard u can remove this if u remove engine mount an jack the engine up. is this true. if so which engine mount an is it an easy job.

thanks for looking

 

Can be done without that, its tight but can be done.

 

my d/p to turbo is pretty much stuck as the nuts an bolts have been really tightened up an dont really want to mess around removing turbo. have u done it before mate?

 

soak them in wd for the night , you trying to undo the down pipe to the turbo 5 nuts????at the top ????

as long as you get a nice tight fit on them they should come loose , but they will be f@@king tight .

 

was tried and the nut an bolt started to twist an could of resulted in a snappd bolt so too risky to try so thought on about removing it this way. ive heard it can be done an dont really want to touch the d/p bolts

 

i dont get what you are trying to do then ????????/???

if you want to take the down pipe off you have to undo the bolts to the turbo ....

?

 

the uppipe mate before the turbo. i want to remove that

 

As has been said you can get the standard up-pipe off without raising the engine, but you'll need to release it from the turbo first. Once you've undone the three bolts holding it to the turbine housing you can rotate it and pull it out backwards through the space where the downpipe would otherwise be. You can leave the turbo plumbed in - just try and support it with something, some string and a plank of wood, or whatever, just to make sure that the coolant and oil feeds don't take its weight.

 

thanks splitpin. yea im bit worrie about the hose but i will make sure there is no strain on them. i can get to 2 bolts on top an there is a bolt just under a d/p bolt i think. im assuming only a C spanner can be used on this. will be doing this in future so not really examined job toolwise
