Apex'i RX6 disassembly?

Hey everybody, I recently took apart my rx6 turbo kit. While doing so, even after 4 rounds of pb blaster, I managed to shear a bolt that secures the turbine housing to the chra. I have done a little bit of reading and I have found that this turbo is not rebuildable. My question now is, can I remove the turbine housing to get access to the sheared bolt so I can extract it? Or since this is non rebuildable will I hurt something if I disassemble it? Any input is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Oh and if anybody knows where to source replacement gaskets for this kit as well that would be awesome.

You're not going to hurt anything by disassembling it. I am pretty sure gaskets are really hard to get for most Apexi stuff. What gasket are you looking for? DP gasket?

That turbine housing looks like it got REALLY HOT!!

It sure does. Still has absolutely zero shaft play though and has no signs of ever leaking oil after about 8k. I am looking for the manifold-turbo, and turbo-dp gaskets. Thanks for your help.

apexi can get you all of the gaskets and such, but there's a good chance they'll have to be ordered from japan.

consult your nearest apex'i distributor
