hey guys...do yu know more or less how many hours could be spent for a turbo swap.??

tomorrow and saturday mourning want change my broken k24 7200 for the rebuild k26/27 with 360 bearing that boughtfrom Hoffer76 forum member (thanks Richard)

2 hours of time maybe??

it is need to change th turbo flanges for a new ones?? because i think that with the used ones it could work perfectly

Depends if on a couple of things.....

The last time all the nuts were removed.
If you have/made a bent 15mm spanner for the bottom turbo bolt.
Obviously you have never donne it before so i would deffo allow for longer than 2 hrs!

Depends on if you can get the downpipe nuts off that mate to the turbo, that will take the most time.

My Garrett turbo is so big it won't come off if you undo all the nuts as the hotside will hit the chassis as there isn't enough room to pull it out normally., you have to remove the studs from the manifold to lift it up and out

When I did mine for the downpipe and hotside swap it took 3 hours, namely because of the above and having to think latterly

I would also think more than 2hrs, especially that fukkin Dp bolt...

also, do you got the correct oil-lines?

Yes me, garage wanted to take the EM off, I was having none of that!

3 hours to be safe , make sure you have the other turbo prep'd..i.e new gaskets for oil union/join all clean ...15mm spanner that you can make the open end thinner with grinder turbo nuts, bend one for exhaust, same again grind the ring slightly so easier turning..spray everything the night before with lube

thank you very much friends

i will try to do it myself because my mechanical friend dont have time to let a hand to me

and i am very tempted to test my car with the new turbo and see AFR numbers

I would say a bit more then 3-4 hours, the downpipe bolts can be a real pita.
