juelz86turbogll Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 Hello i was just wondering what would be the best way to remove the stock turbo cross pipe. i have both driver and passenger manifold bolts off. Aswell as the (2 bolts on each side of the cross pipe=4bolts). the maifold flex but i still cannot ge it off.I also found that it was a 12mm bolt under the cross over pipe and assuming it will be one and the passenger side. what will be the best way to get it off? thanks will appricieate it. Also i will be going under the car try to get a better fitment to the bolt if that nesecery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLOZ UP Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 If you unbolt the passenger side manifold from the head, and the unbolt the 2 12mm nuts and 12mm bolt from the DRIVER'S side of the crossover pipe, you can weasel the entire thing out. Getting the bottom bolt out is a pain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After i golt the cross over pipe loose i struggled to get the get both driver manifold with turbo off. once again i performed this without going under the car.. Is it possible the turbo out with manifold out from the side of the bolck heads are still on aswell.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLOZ UP Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 When I did it eons ago, I believe I unbolted the turbo, then unbolted the manifold and took the manifold out and then the turbo. Or some combination of that. It's a pain. Pull the engine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
