SOoo i attempted my first turbo assembly removal and after 4 hours im at the point where the manifolds are ready to be unbolted and only the bottom lines are still attached to the turbos.
I disassembled everything carefully and it really wasnt that bad of a job . everything came apart with the help or extensions , Ujoints and a breaker bar.
Now i'm replacing the manifolds and dump pipes with tomei expreme units and the turbos going in are 2860 -5 units, questions are :-
If you have used the expreme manifolds , did you wrap them with the exhaust wrap included in the kit ? is this an essential step ? . I'd rather not use it but if it's a critical step them i suppose i would.
It looks like the 2860 turbos have slightly different ports for water and oil , anyone know of a stainless braided kit that replaces all the original lines ? The original lines are in great shape and undamaged but id like to replace with lines that are new and flexible
.
Do the 2860 housings need to be clocked ? I have the Trust/greddy suction hardpipe kit coming to replace all the rubber and other crap thats 15 years old , I want it to bolt up as accurately as possible lto minimise leaks. Anyone else have experience of this ?
The 2860s are brand new garrets boxed BUT do the wastegate actuators need adjusting etc ? , if so whats the procedure ?
That will be all for now !
Thanks
