I am going to be taking these items off my FD this weekend to have some things done to them. Is there any kind of "how to's" for the removel of these. Im sure i could just dive in there and start ripping them apart, but i prefer to make sure things are done right so i like to follow instructions for the first time.
Plus any lil warnings and becarefulls would help too

2. Remove throttle cable and cruize cable. (self explanitory)
3. Unplug TPS (back of TB, 4 wires)
4. Remove coolant lines from TB (One back, one bottom) have a towel ready.
5. Unbolt and remove TB. (4 12mm crown nuts. 2 top, 2 bottom)
6. Unplug intake air intake thermosensor, IAC, and all the other crap on the UIM..
7. Remove 5 crown nuts from UIM. (and the one 12mm on the Coil rack)
8. Pull off UIM.
9. Undo fuel lines
10. Unplug EGR
11. Unplug airpump crap
12. Remove stock turbos (Someone help… it's been a while!)
13. Remove 6 12mm bolts for LIM
14. Remove LIM
Putting a "drink beer" inbetween every other step helps greatly.

iluvmyrx7.com This is not a task that should require a how-to. It just a matter of taking the bolts out and unpluging the connectors and vac hoses. Think of the workshop manual as a big book of How-tos.

Yes, in order to remove the LIM that Turbos HAVE to come off first.
So if you really wants these things taken off UIM, T/B, LIM.
It would likely be in this order.
1. UIM & T/B
2. Downpipe
3. Y-pipe
4. All other associated piping.
5. Turbos
6. LIM
Steps 2-6 are a DOOOOOZY
Only remove the LIM if you have the turbos off anyway or if it is absolutely necessary. I honestly didn't find it hard, just very time consuming, but at the time my turbos were off anyway.
