just wondering my car and mods are in my sig, I will be getting my RB downpipe on monday, and I wanna take the whole assembly off just to check it out, maybe port the wastegate a bit, I just want more knoweleged, I know I drive a turbo and I know how it works, it would make me feel better if I knew that I could

Another quick question, how much boost can I run safley with this setup an FD pump , stock 550s, and s-afc

so I can just take that list to the dealer and they can find those part #'s? also How hard is this, looks like there is alot of stuff to replace if you take it apart, should I or not, a biger wastegate would be nice, anything I can do to prevent cracking?

 

I respect you thinking! Knowledge is the best tool you and your rex will ever know. Removing/replacing the turbo isnt hard at all just time consuming. Just like anything else just reverse the order when reinstalling it. Youll prolly need a new manifold to turbo gasket, and gaskets for the oil and water lines to the turbo. Youll have a much better idea of what and where those gaskets are once you have it apart. The turbo to amn. gasket is kinda pricey though. I think like 50$ at the dealer, and prolly a special order for them so be prepared. Good luck!! Let me know if I can be of any more assistance.
