? replace turbo gaskets w/out disconnecting oil & coolant lines ?
I believe I have an exhaust leak between the secondary (rear) turbo manifold and the engine.
Is it possible to replace the turbo gaskets without disconnecting the oil & coolant lines, esp. if you take out the STUDS?
If not, seeing that this motor is only 1-year old and less than 5K miles on it, if I have to disconnect the oil & coolant lines, do I need to replace the gaskets ?
TIA,

Sorry, what I just wrote was wrong.
Yes, it's possible to hang the turbos by the lines, etc, remove the studs (assuming they all come out) and sneak the new gaskets in place. They do go in a particular order, and it's a little tricky to get the gasket in place and lined up, but a big sturdy pair of tweezers may fix that.

My mechanic friend found some black soot by the secondary turbo oil-coolant line.
He told me to take off the heat-shield, once the car is cooled down.
Low and behold, one M8 bolt is missing and another M8 is half-way out. These bolts along with two M12's hold down the cover over the secondary turbo valve.
Part of my gasket was BLOWN out. Thank goodness I had a spare from my popped motor.
As I put things back together, I placed lock washers on the bolts to hopefully never have this happen again.
Life is good . . .
