Take of the bolts from the dp to the o2

 

[george1904]

alright ill give it a try tommorow
so to install at turbo do you pretty much just bolt it up,connect the oil line and the water and thats it? or do you need to do anything to the turbo before putting it in?

 

[bboyalan]

You could also try soaking the bolts with lubricant, such as WD-40.

Hm, my only other tip for the install is use anti-seize on the bolts for that extra umph.

aight what did you mean by one of the posts above" don't forget to prime the new turbo with new oil"?

 

[bboyalan]

Basically, you want to lubricate the turbo as the final step before driving around. By disconnecting the ignition component, the car will crank but will be unable to turnover. You want to repeat this 3-4 times for proper priming. Anyone else want to chime in?

you are already swapping turbos George? hit me up if you need help.

yea dude i have to get that shit running ASAP because then i wont have a car to drive since im getting rid of the GS like in 3 weeks or so . The turbo should be here today ill hit you up after i get out of school

 

[george1904]

i just got an email from ups i guess its going to get here on the 12 and i ordered it on the
2nd

 

[bboyalan]

Aw, that sucks. Will you still be able to get around until then?

 

[george1904]

yea I still have the GS. But I made a mistake the thing getting delivered on the 12 is something I ordered yesterday from extremepsi. So hopefully it should be here tommorow since it didn't come in today

 

[george1904]

how about we all meet up this sunday or something

george1904 you can make things A LOT easier for yourself and just disconnect the big blue fuse labled "motor" in your fuse box under the hood to do this as well. all you do is pull up on the thing to take it out, then jump in the drivers seat, turn the motor for 5 seconds (do it 4 times), run back over and re-install the fuse... done. turbo primed.


do we have plans for sunday then? ill put my name on the top of the list if we can get more than four cars meeting up. if you get something started ill be there!

maybe see you guys on the 15th?

 

[bboyalan]

What did you guys have in mind?

Oh, and I didn't literally mean disconnect and remove all of the components . I was specifically referring to the harness-plug connection between the coilpack and power transistor. Anyway, the fuse idea sounds good too

 

[george1904]

thanks gofer nice and simple
Well how I suggested last time I say grab something to eat and meet up somewhere with no cops

 

[vinnyy]

im down for sunday...if I can get my car running haha.

 

[VergeTSi]

last time we met at frys off the 15 and cruised over to chillis in point loma

 

[sonik619]

What time?

 

[gofer]

...like alex said. the first and the last time we met up was at fry's and then we drove to chili's on sports arena for dinner. if we want to do a drive again though, i don't suggest that one, traffic was garbage the entire way and it was hard to keep everyone together (the food was good though) my .02 cents doesn't mean a lot because theres lots of people in on this but alex has a park next to his house in National City thats ALWAYS empty and isn't hard to find and theres no main streets going past it. Since we've got a lot more faces (cars) than we did from our first meet up i say meet at the park by alex's house and re-get to know everyone and then maybe do a drive to Mission Beach? Take the 5 to mission bay drive down to the roller coaster, then south on that road... it dead ends into a huge beach parking lot and its always empty, even on the weekends since theres no surfing cause its in the bay. Maybe get some dinner for the guys that are hungry?

[VergeTSi]
