Exhaust Manifold & Turbocharger.
Can these be removed with the engine in the car & on a scale of 1 to 10, how difficult? I have an exhaust leak in this area. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683561.gif 1988 13BT TII. |
I can say with some authority that the turbo will come off with the engine in the car, as I have had mine off twice now. Granted, with the stock precat and the ABS pump, it's a royal bitch on the PITA scale. Now that the ABS is gone, and I have a downpipe, its really not bad.
The manifold, I believe, will also come off, but I haven't done it yet, so I can't say for sure. Once the turbo is out, access to that area seems quite good. |
I just pulled the turbo/manifold and downpipe off all in one shot. I just unbolted the downpipe and the exhaust manifold from the engine. Pulled it out, foward and up.

I've pulled the turbo so many times I can have it off in probably 20 minutes. Having no emissions is a huge help.

I pulled my turbo 4 times in two days last week due to an exhaust leak. If you do not have an air pump, ACV , or ABS in the way, you can remove your turbo and manifold in 20 minutes. You can do it with minimal fluid loss. Clamp a large bolt into the lower water line and that will do it.
Good luck T |
It takes twice as long the first time. One or two tries and it's a piece of cake.
