is it possible to remove and install a turbo WITHOUT pulling the uim, vac. spyder, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc......

Just wondering....

I'm doing my turbo install tonight (bought a new one that wasn't ****), and if I could avoid having to totally reassemble everything it would be great

 

Yeah, I want to know this too.

 

just remove the intake piping and mas, airpump, acv and downpipe. you should be able to get it off then.

 

Take your time...It's a pain. Above plus oil lines, coolant lines.

 

It is a pain in the *** but doable! trust me! i did it quite a few times, it only take a little extra effort to get your arms/toold arround the Aframe for the suspension!

 

Take off the AVC and it wil be a lot easier. I have all my emissions removed and it's a snap. I've done it so many times I can probably pull it and put it back on in 90 minutes.

 

yeah, its very doable but takes a while. It was the first time taking the turbo off so the heat shield were a major pain in the ***. Took ~3 hrs total.
