Checking for Shaftplay

[dmtunc99]

What is the easiest way to get the intake pipe off to get to the turbo to look for shaft play. I quite honestly have no idea how to do it.
Thanks

I'm not a 2g expert, but it should just be a clamp or something simple

Loosen the clamp directly around the turbo's intake-side up (Circled pink, below), and the clamp around the tube that connects to the BOV (Circled in pink, also). I'm assuming you still have the stock airbox though?? In that case, loosen the clamp circled in light blue also. If you have 'an open filter that's not bolted down to anything, just loosen the pink circled clamps.

Thank you very much

i dont know about you a_scobel but i just unplug the MAS harness and take the whole unit out. the injen intake is a such a bi*** to put back together ; either way taking off an intake pipe will take less than 1 minute

The injen is definately a bi*** espically with a huge air filter (K&N) to get off.
I just usually disconnect the same clamp scobe is talking about and "wiggle" the intake off and check it then put it back on... Mainly because I'm lazy and don't want to remove everything else.

amen brotha... :laugh:

if i'm REALLY tired and useless ; i'll just undo the one clamp that goes onto the comp housing and kinda nudge and check at the same time
