exhaust housing swap (t25 to t28)

[ILLiCliPSE]

Im swapping exhaust housings from my t25 to my t28...since theres a broken bolt in one of the holes in the housing of the t28, and Im just swapping the housings since theyre the same. I started to unbolt the housing, but the bolts have no way out since they hit some of the components of the center section of the turbo. How do I get this thing off?

thanks,
Brian

How about instead of just saying you fixed the problem, why not go ahead and post what the solution was. Whether it be something very easy and stupid, or hard and technical, please post the result. Just in case someone else will have this very same question and they come across this thread.

Thanks !

I believe you just have to lift the housing as you are unbolting it.

Yes that was the case...just losen the 4 bolts that attatch the housing to the center section and it pops out.

I thought the t25 and t28 exhaust housings were the same...theyre obviously not...the t28s wheel is soo much bigger than the t25s that it doesnt fit. i had to use the t28 housing...but hey...it ported now
