You just wanted to get your post count up. LOL

Thanks for all the help guys.

I got an appointment on Friday at Torque Factory to get the PC-16 file. This is going to be a long week!!!! I really want it! GRRR...

I will try and get those pictures up soon. My whole body just hurts right now and I don't feel like doing anything. LOL

How many hours did it take?

 

PIcs Are Up:


This is my work area. Not a lot of room as you can see.


Shot of the old turbo.


Another closeup of the old turbo


The "Monster" Tool that I had to build to get that stupid cat bolt out. Consists of a 12", 6", and 4" extensions, 2 universal joints, the socket, and the wrench.


Turbo out of the car.


Old turbo out of the car (that was a happy moment).


New turbo in car. (Also a happy moment until it started leaking.) [:@]

Sorry about the quality. They were all taken on my cell phone. I will try and get some videos up tonight to of the weather when I was trying to work and the leak I have.

Started at 10 a.m. and finished around 7 p.m. so about 9 hours or so.

Tomorrow I will be fixing the coolant leak on the turbo as well as the coolant leak on the back of the block at the coolant flange. I am thinking about installing my AFPR as well but I might wait until friday when I go get it chipped.

Good luck with everything, man. Can't wait to hear about the first real test drive with the new turbo in it.

 

Ohhhh man that old turbo looks nasty! [:'(]

 

Oh yes it is!!!! And the turbo housing itself was cracked in 3 places on the exhaust side. No wonder I was having so many problems!!!

This is all sounding too familiar, welcome to the world of a fun car.

Oh and when you first drive it,it will be surgy and not that smooth. The car will adapt to that after a few times of driving it.

 

did you install the injectors or are you waiting till you get the pc-16?

 

wow you make it sound so fun i cant wait until i get to do it
