jevansio Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 Quick update from me... After 9 hours on the car today and the help of my brother in law and two friends we finally got one of the turbo's off, we have managed to undo all the top manifold bolts and two underneath. Tomorrow will be getting the second turbo off along with the manifold. Bloody hard work, we're all exhausted. 9 hours sounds like bloody hard work, you need a drink Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Nicholas Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 Another quick update from me... We finally managed to remove turbo no #2 today, the exhaust manifold and the full stock exhaust system. It's amazing how hard some of the bolts were to get off, in the end we decided to remove the exhaust as one piece rather than trying to split it up. A few pics for your below, note the woolworths 12v impact wrench believe it or not but this £20 tool was an absolute god send and the job would have been much harder if we didn't have it! the other spanners in the picture are essentials and the main tools we used. Off to have a shower now and relax with a few beers ready to watch top gear tonight! Should anyone be after any stock parts or stock turbos please pm me.

Guest Nicholas Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 Anymore Nick? not yet Mark, been working all week. I did pick up the virtual works intake mani last night though so pics tonight.. Is the block staying stock? At the moment wayne yes, this may all change depending on how the car feels/dyno results. The car is completely stock and never been above the stock 0.8 bar boost and has a FSH so the block should be in good nick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
