Hi I would like to know how to remove the sleeves. I checked on a 13BT rotor housing and I saw 2 littles holes, but I didn't see nothing in it. Do they have something to do with the sleeve removal ?



Also I want to put the 13BT sleeve on a rotor housing from a 13BRE. But on the 13BRE housing I don't see these little holes cause the is a metal plate in the sleeve.



Someone knows how to remove this one too ?



Thanks

you have to dissaseemble the motor and then on the side of the rotor housing there is a pin that you have to remove in order to pull out the sleeves

The engine is already dissassemble. I didn't notice these pins. I will check more carefully next time. After the pins are removed, will it come out easily ??



Thanks

Used a Mig welder to puddle/ball ontop of the pin. Then just pulled them out and knocked the sleeve out..

So is it possible to buy JUST THE SLEEVES for a turbo housing? I want to max out my NA, and I don't want those crappy NA sleeves in there disrupting exhaust flow.

Buy some from guys online, I just gave a set to a buddy. There are plenty of guys with blown t2 rotor housings I have cut the n/a diffusers out before, and thats not fun....
