I am upgrading to ct20b and I am having a hell of a time with the removal of the stock turbo.
1. Is it possible to remove the turbo without removing the downpipe? I can't seem to reach the turbo stay bracket bolt with the downpipe in place.
2. I have the stock exhaust system, I unbolted the 3 downpipe to b-pipe nuts but I can't push the b-pipe back out of the way to disconnect the downpipe, does the b-pipe have to be removed completely?
3. When I unbolted the 4 studs to the exhaust manifold and the 6 studs to the downpipe (or is it the other way around, I am so tired
) some of the studs came out completely along with the nut and some only the nut came off, is that normal? What does threading of the studs mean? I keep reading about them and have no idea what it means.
As you can probably guess I am very tired. I installed an intercooler yesterday and am trying to finish the ct20b today, but unfortunately it doesn't look like its going to happen
. Any help is greatly appreciated.
