There has been a few threads recently about turbo swaps without removing the engine and by pure chance in the workshop today I had the opportuntity to take a few pics when working in the same area.

 

As it happens there was nothing wrong with the turbo, this poorly zed had a noisy manifold gasket but of course to gain access to the manifold required the turbo removal.

 

Its interesting to see quite how involved this job can be and the lack of room, also when all removed the area looks like a bomb site!!

 

Enjoy !!

Down pipe and starter removed gives some more access.

Removing the water feed banjo bolt gave the first view of the "awkward " turbo nut the two other rear nuts are a doddle.
