Twin Turbo removal - pictures

[TonyBlair]

True... the piping is crazy, hence the reason for taking pictures, so I know where things go back.

No, I\'m not going single. As much as I\'d like to I can only afford to have my current set of twins refurbished, since the oil seals in them have gone.  

More pics to follow...

Got the y-pipe off...

Removed the O2 sensor from the downpipe.

When taking the downpipe off, be sure to soak the bolts in WD40 first... they are bound to be rusty.

The rod that connects to the steering wheel (don\'t know the proper name) needs to come out.

If you look closely at the blades on the fan of the primary turbo you can see that the tips are broken off. There is plenty of side-to-side play in the propeller shaft

The oil and water lines came off at this point... be sure to drain the sump and water reservoir before hand.

To get the actuators off you need to take out some tiny \'C-clips\' of the rods that connect onto the turbo housing. Be bloody careful when getting these outs, you\'ll need a small screw-driver and good eye-sight to find them when they spring-out on to the floor.

Remember to disconnect the oil line to the secondary turbo before you start to wrench the turbo pack out through the top of the engine bay.

You can clearly see the C-clip on the rod connected to the actuator.

You can also see here most of the layout of the bolts that hold the turbo pack to the engine. If you look at the square\'ish cap on the exhaust manifold. There are four bolts on it, the two on the right of this picture are long bolts and go right through to the otherside - they need to come out to get the pack off, but the two on the left can stay in.

And she\'s out....
