For those that helped me with my questions about installing a new coupler.... I was wondering how it's possible to get to the coupler with the (excuse my ignorance on part names) large plastic part it's attached to being bolted on and all. Doesn't that need to move to get the couplers on/off?

Also, I purchased a silicone hose from Baker to replace the part, and it has I'm guessing silicone dust inside. Do I need to wash it out before installing?

Thanks guys

 

I assume you mean by "large plastic part" the crossover tube behind the water filler neck that goes from the turbos to the top of the intercooler. If the coupler you need to replace is the one on the turbo end, then you must remove the crossover pipe. Disconnect the hose clamps at each end of it, and remove the two bolts that are in the middle. It will then lift right off.

BE CAREFUL! Once the tube is off DO NOT drop anything into the turbo!

 

Unscrew those bolt thingies alot and then pull the plastic thingie out of it. You may need to kinda pry off the coupler with a flathead or some other thingmajig. The plastic and rubber things have some flex in them so it's not hard at all.

 

hehe at least you excused my ignorance

thnx for the help

 

I was just trying to put it in a way you would understand

Did you figure it out?

 

might as well get an efini ypipe while your at it.. just a thought.. that's what i did.
