    Removing turbo?

    I've got to remove the turbo to make more room to get to the core plugs. Just a quick question if there's anything i should look out for, or not touch? Last thing i want is to be trying to get the turbo off but damaging something else along the way..

    Standard ABY...

    Regards
    Harry

    if its not been removed before expect there to be a drama somewhere along the way in terms of getting the studs off etc...age and heat do them (or your knuckles) no favours.

    Good luck

      You'll need a cut down spanner or half moon spanner for one downpipe to turbo nut, it's a r33t bi-atch

        Jamo beat me to it, but yes some banana spanners are required alright - and plenty of patience on crusted up old exhaust side nuts that rarely co-operate without some sort of drama.

        Be careful with oil and water pipes that you don't ingest any dirt is the only other thing I can think of right now
