Hey,

I'm pulling out my turbo's and replacing them with a set of freshly rebuilt, and I am wondering what I should replace while I have the turbos off.

I am going to port my wastegate, I have just replaced my gasket and studs for the dp, and have just replaced the coolant lines for the turbos. anything else?

Also any suggestions in making this swap easier? This is my first time taking off the turbos and would really like some suggestions that could help me.

Thanks

Ian

 

Replace the washers on the oil return lines.

 

Damn Mahjik, I might as well just pm you and have you answer all my questions!
Thanks for your suggestion!

Anyone else?

 

Replace with silicone hose any brittle/hard OEM vacuum lines attached to the CCV,CRV, Y-Pipe, WG/PC actuators..etc,...etc...

 

Thanks! i forgot to mention I got some long strips of silicone hoses to replace any of those I find cracked/ old.

 

are there any other gaskets I should worry about?

 

Inspect the exhaust manifold for cracks? Replace the LIM gasket if it's not the metal kind?

Have exhaust manifold heat coated. Have turbo manifold heat coated, if possible. Have injectors cleaned. Have DP heat coated. Put nuts and bolts in labeled baggies. Take pictures or video for reinstall.

 

whats up go!

man your sure are trying to help me out today! THANKS!!!!

I got my dp wraped. I have thought about heat coating but I am not sure where to take it, how long it takes, and how much it costs.

 

Hog the manifo0ld out for full non-seq

 

$21/foot Embee Performance in Santa Ana unless you don't like grey then there's Performance Coatings in WA but then add another 6 days shipping time (3ea way) on top of 10 week days to have it done. I think the exhaust manifold was $20-ish. I never did the turbo manifold cause I couldn't seperate the peices.

 

Thanks for the info!
