Question about FP28

[Trippnup2]

This will be an easy one! Is the FPBig28 a direct bolt on for 2g cars? I know you have to upgrade other things to achieve the full potential of the turbo. I just need to know how hard the install will be!

Thanks!

6 HOURS.. LArry

I can have my turbo out and back in in under 2 hours. I do not take the exhuast manifold off.

When doing a turbo swap for the first time. I recommend replacing the stud with a regular bolt. I just seems to make things easier down the road. IMHO

I said for a semi novice.. If i did it now.. I could prolyl do the entire thing in about 2 hours as well.. but considering both the oil lines were stuck on (rusted I suppose) and I couldnt get anything to come off.. We actually had to use a blow torch to heat up the bolts on the xhaust manifold to get them to come undone.. it wasnt nice and easy, i put it that way..
