Changing the cartrige on the twins

Does anyone out there change the cartrige on there stock twin turbos? My secondary is leaking and I bought the cartrige for it, but I dont want to get in over my head with it.

Don't impale yourself with the snap ring, it has a lot of tension behind it. have fun.

I assumed you had the turbo's already out, if not the site there should help. I'd also recommend replacing the other cartridge sinse you are there. Why change one dirty sock?

On the snap ring, your best bet is to get a set of long angle needle nose pliers and make a set of snap ring pliers. I've never had any luck with snap ring pliers working on turbo snap rings.
