Alright, I got it all apart now.. I noticed that I'm missing a couple bolts
Which is really freakin awesome. So, now I have to go and buy some bolts to replace them. (Anyone know what the exact size is for the bolts on turbo and downpipe? so i can go to napa in the morning and buy them) I recieved my gaskets today also.. Which I just want someone to tell me that I have the right ones before I pull all of this crap apart.
It wasnt really easy pulling my heatshield off, don't understand why. I spent most of my time getting that pos off, and when I finally did, I realized that I could have pulled the first IC pipe off and easily snaked it out.
Is there anyway that I can drop the downpipe and elbow without disconnecting the dp, from the exhaust? I realized that I don't have the gasket for the downpipe, which, I could use one if anyone knows where I can pick one up really fast. 3" :P
I really just wanted to know how hard it is to take this turbo off, is it really a pain.. I'm not really that experienced with pulling such parts off but I have the time to learn with this car. I was wondering if there are 4 studs that come from the bottom of the turbo, and 5 that go thru the downpipe? And what HAS to be removed to put the turbo inlet gasket on? I don't really want to get into the "This has to come off so pull it off" mode. I wind up with a big ass pile of nuts and bolts and no idea where the hell they came from.
I just really need someone to supervise me with some of this. Maybe talk me thru it. I don't want to mess this car up.
