there are certain asspects of the 2.7tts that make is much easyer of a engine to work on. once you figure out that you have to drop the engine for almost anything then your golden.
Oh and you dont need to do all the disassembling that this guy did to drop the engine. he took it 100% out and you dont need to do it. we drop ours onto a table and keep as much as possible hooked up. i got pictures someplace.

Just because I bought it from a POS doesn't mean the car is. My technician (who is a german auto expert if you need some schooling, since you are a recently graduated grease monkey) finished what he couldn't and as a result, it is running sweet and looks awesome, as most people can see from the pictures I posted here for which I got many compliments for... oh, wait a minute, where are your pictures?? Nothing to show?? All talk no action, just like your loser mentor who has a garage with no lift or enough square footage to work in, in the middle of the hood. You show your true adolescence with your childish words and silly remarks, grow some...

i think your taking this as a insult, its not. you leave 90% of the engine hooked up. take off the front bumper and disconnect basically only what you need. when we throw in the 28s it will take alot longer becase we will have to fab up downpipes and put in the new manifold but like i said i have changed the turbos on the same car 3 times and once on another car. its so easy now.
I have done the job as you can see from the pictures. The turbos can not be replaced in 5 hours (meaning that the car is completed and running within 5 hours). Give me the address to your shop and I'll be there with a big bag of chips and a case of beer. If you really can do it in this time it will be quite an impressive show.
So you don't need to take the engine out, yet you then state that you drop yours onto a table and keep as much as possible hooked up? What is it you are dropping on your table if it is not an engine? Look at the pics again and then rephrase your statement.

Obviously you can't because you have nothing to show for, no pictures or anything, just words, in case you missed them... how do you like them apples? Ummm, errr, uhhh...

Couldn't imagine trying to fit larger turbos in there as well so good luck to you when you finally do it!

I didn't delete it, I edited it, and whatever language used wasn't there after editing it, so it's needless to say...

dont defend yourself.
as for dropping the engine we do technically drop it just not as much as you did. only enough to access the turbos. im serious ill take pictures of us doing it with a clock it takes like 5 hours to drop and put the engine back in as long as nothing goes wrong. its really nice.

hey, at least you can see the turbo. Is it absolutely necessary to pull the whole front end off? I have helped pull a VW jetta VR6 engine by pulling the front apart, it wasn't that bad.

You can hardly see the turbo when it is in the car. It is not absolutely necessary to tear the entire front end off, as there are other ways to do the job, although when you get used to taking the front end off it is quite simple as others have stated and just makes the remainder of the work easier. I considered leaving the engine in the car, although removing the engine, trans., subframe and suspension was the least difficult part of the job and like I said above, even with it out I found the turbo swap the most difficult task.
