How to replace turbo (with pics)
I'm about to get started replacing the turbo on my car. I was wondering if anybody had seen a post with pictures showing the procedure once your down to the turbo itself (i.e. alternator, intake, etc. have already been pulled)? .... I've already gone to clarks garage.. just looking for pictures of the process...

You unbolt the down pipe from underneath the cat with a long flex extension, and the cross over pipe right at the turbo with a wrench 13mm. Then from under the turbo there are two allen bolts, one long and one short. Don't strip those. Then the oil line with an 18mm and it should come right out.

I just replaced my turbo and didn't touch the alternator.. or the steering rack. For the crossover pipe bolts I used an angled ratchet and 13mm wrench. Everything from underneath can be done with long extensions and swivel joints.
