ok.......im starting to port the s5 turbo....not wanting any metal shavings going into the turbines i decided to take the exhaust housing off of the entire assembly.....ok.....30 minutes into it i loosen all the bolts around the exhaust housing.....2 of the bolts do not have enough clearence to be removed.....and after i've loosen them as much as i could.....the housing will not come off..is there something else i should do for the housing to come off?...or do i just need a gorilla to yank on it hard enough?.....i dont want to damage the turbo so im posting this before i go at it with a BFH......also after removal...would i need a rebuilt kit to seal everything up again?.....the turbo seems to be in good condition and does not need a rebuilt.....thanks

Keep turning those two bolts. When they start to make contact with the center section continuing to turn them will push the exhaust housing right off.

 

I don't think so. I think all the seals for the shaft and what not are all contained within the center section. But I could be wrong.

 

ok....before i go ahead and take it apart......do i need to make any markings on the housings?...so they line up correctly ?.....

 

why are you porting the s5 turbo? dont all of them BLEED boost instead of creep?

 

His sig lists Hybrid turbo- w/ compressor upgrade it is possible to over-run the S5 wastegates.

Considerably, w/ the right set-up...

 

ahh, i was not aware of this upgraded compressor

that is indeed what i need to dominate
