ronttuk Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 I need a tip or two how do you get the turbos off !!! Do you take the exhaust manifold off with the turbos attached or do you remove the turbos from the exhaust manifold ??? Either way how do you get to the bottom bolts ??

Geo Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 Either way you do it, there a pain in the hole to get to all the nuts and bolts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jos Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 On jspec (and I think uk spec is not much different?) I find it easier to remove the turbos as set from the turbo manifold, I use a spanner with one side cut off so I can slide a pipe over it to remove the lower bolts. Easier when the exhaust valve is removed, can be done though with it in place. I believe I also removed the right subframe bracket (from the alu to steel subframe), to get more workspace below the turbos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra_ufo Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 refer to the manual on the main page, I will say you need a blow torch to get half of the nuts off. I recommend using a 14mm brake spanner from halfords, curls around more than a normal spanner for better grip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geo Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 10, 12, 14mm spanners and sockets you will need. Extentions, Plus Gas, and Patience Flare spanners are pretty good also Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mk4Gaz Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 Took mine off a couple of weeks ago, in situ. Not a nice job at all, everything is so sodding awkward, but you'll definitely want a small blowtorch! Took me about 7 hours, and I'm not shy with spanners!
