Trouble Removing my Turbo

[xXEclipse]

Alright so my first question is, are all four of these bolts supposed to be the same? The one circled is a nut instead of a head for a bolt.

My next question is, is there any other way to take off the turbo except from here? I cant get these bolts to break free.

You can do it with the key the way i did it was unplug the coil and cranked it over a few times plug the coil back in and your good to go!

Lots of cussing. I ended up using a flat head screwdriver, pulling it forward a little bit, then pushing down at the same time. It's definitely a SOB, but it goes, I promise.

Going on Hour 2 of this stupid part. now...

 

[ktgurl87]

Patience young grasshopper. I seriously had to walk away from that sucker like 4 times just because my hand was hurting so bad.

 

[greyspyder117]

what are you using to try and get it off... You know there is a special o2 removal tool.... But why are you taking it out?

 

[xXEclipse]

Im not! Im puting the oil line back in and it WONT SCREW

 

[GIRman67]

after a while I said screw this, cut the line and went with SS braided. that way I only have to remove one side, the housing side

Whats SS braided, could you explain?

Stainless steel line.

This has turned into a good how-to thread.

 

[xXEclipse]

Well whats the difference doesn't it insert the same -_-

 

[ktgurl87]

Walk away from it for a minute. Take a break. That damn line is a pain in the ass. The only reason I didn't replace it was because I couldn't get it undone on the other end and I didn't want to break anything. I finally got it in though. It took quite a few tries, lots of cussing, atleast half a pack of cigarettes, a couple mt. dews, and then it was in. I'm gonna tell you though... that line is a LOT easier to get to with the manifold removed. Looks like you still have the manifold mounted, so it's going to take you a little bit more oomph. Good luck though... you'll get it.

Turbo Oil Feed Line Garrett T25 T28 / 40in Line - eBay (item 380320021411 end time Mar-28-11 03:24:52 PDT)


I bought this for my car, but the one for a 14b, but it would be way easier That line is a pain in the a s s and will cause more problems than its worth.

 

[xXEclipse]

Is there anywhere to get that SS line at a store? I really hate to give up but its getting there..

 

[GIRman67]

Lots of vendors on this site carry them. they usually range in about $30-$50 +shipping, I lucked out here because I just happen to have a mechanic that drives and works on DSMs daily.

95weclipse....explain the issues you have been having. I've had mine for little more than a year with no leaks or problems whatsoever. The only thing was that it was a b1tch to install because I installed it while the exhaust manifold was still on. Heck, that line is probably the ONLY thing that has never leaked oil on my car.

 

[xXEclipse]

i cant get mine to screw in, it starts to catch and then just pops out its been two days now..i even took the exhaust mani off today

It's the spacer between the intake coupler and the compressor housing.

Ps, I think your picture was supposed to be linked like this:

Edit: Hmm, the link still didn't work I don't think.

the stock feed line is a pain to work with, if you have the cash i would get an aftermarket line make it some much easilier to remove or install again EXTREME PSI : Your #1 Source for In Stock Performance Parts

Im gonna order it, where do I take off the other one? In the middle of the line where it connects or next to the oil filter

Gotta love taking the turbos off for the first time. I'll never forget my first time with the GST. Socket slipped off one of the turbo bolts and I flew 3ft backwards and into a big batch of bushes. Took me 5 minutes just to fight my way back out of them.
