I'll be serious now. What a nasty job. Allow a day each way...if you can get the car nice and high to work comfortably under.

It's really not that bad in my opinion Martin.

Soak the studs well with some "PB Blaster" Its like WD40 but better.



Anyway after you get the airbox,airpump,Ypipe, down pipe,inlet pipes and the heatshields out of the way there only a few bolts that hold the turbos on. I would suggest just buying the new studs from a dealership to remount the new ones. The old studs/nuts will most likely get a little fucked up. Oh and get the two manifold gaskets and turbo side gaskets too.



I grabbed this pic so you can see where the bolts are on the turbo instead of guessing where they are.

for the love of god, if you take the stocker's off, don't put them back on!!! upgrade to a single setup, it will clean up the engine compartment, make the car more reliable, and, wel,l it's just cool

They are fun, I am glad I don't have to mess with them anymore!
