Several of us are currently replacing a turbo for another member here in the North Bay, helped him pull it last night.
So did you get it pulled last night?

Pretty easy...
...I'll leave the light work for my wife. She's been there, done that, and has the t-shirt. I'm in Seb-town, just west of you, so feed me, and we can knock this out in an afternoon.

Ive done it before, the damn hard part is listed as all say.. if it was my car I would go ahead and just get new lines and better clips but the person who I was helping didnt want to do so... Those clamps are weak and dont actually hold anything enough.. if you need another hand lemme know.. I can bring over some tools that helped me get my friends done.

Half of you sound like you're from the area, but I've never seen any of you at a North Bay meet up. It would be cool if we all got together to do this and introduced ourselves.

That would be cool indeed. I would be happy to host at my house (and provide beer food etc)
