What's up everone, I just bought a big 16g and I have never changed a turbo before and I need some help. If someone can give me step by step instructions to bolting on my new turbo to my 1g engine. I have a 16g on it now but it was there when I bought the car, and I am trying to learn how to do hands on as best I can by myself. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
 
really not a fan of the forced4s scene i was involved with it when it was justa few guys getting together for dinner at one big table but once it got huge and full of drama i stopped going. i just stick to the cleveland4g63 site mostly

o car is a red 2g with a cf hatch
 
Everyone is complaining about me not searching first, but no one has given me the correct answer as to how to install a 16g in a 1G not in a 2g. The shell is a 2g but the engine is a first gen. If anyone can help and give me step by step instructions or possibly has a link to find them it would be greatly appreciated.
 
Basically all you do is:
1. Unhook intake
2. Remove heat shield
3. Remove J-pipe and lower IC clamp
4. Unbolt oil drain, oil feed and unhook coolant lines
5. Unbolt o2 housing
6. Unbolt 4 turbo to manifold bolts
7. Remove turbo from under manifold (may need to remove driverside rad. fan.)

Reverse for install
 
Is it possible you can send me a picture or a link of how the water lines are supposed to go, because the 16g that was on the car originally didn't have them. So I'm not sure how they are suppossed to go.
