Twin Turbo removal - pictures

[TonyBlair]

Just thought I\'d put up some pictures I took whilst I was removing the Twins. I\'m putting them up in date/time order, so you can get a rough idea of what order I\'ve taken things out - but this is by no means the correct order!

This job was a complete b#tch!! to do. I think it would be a lot easier if the engine was lifted out of the car, but I didn\'t have the space or equipment to do that.

Cheers
Jon.

Jacking the car up took a huge amount of time. Because shes so low we had to use hand jacks and blocks of wood to get the trolley jack underneath.

Got the rear on the ramps, just need to get the front on the axle stands.

You don\'t need to remove the plenum for removing the twins, however I wanted to take it off to inspect the vacuum lines. Most of the pipes under the plenum are well cooked, however there was only one line that was broken, and I broke that off by accident when lifting the plenum

A picture from the otherside of the car shows some oil residue in the inlet manifold - I\'ve read it is common to see oil here, so I wasn\'t too worried about that.
