So after paying RAD Motorsports to sort out my boost leaks (great guys, Will was awesome) we've come to the conclusion that I have a bad turbo. My husband picked up a turbo but I'd like to save the cash on installing it. Looking to see if anyone on the forum could possibly assist us with putting it on, I'll supply the beer, food and tools, just need someone to provide the knowledge.

 

turbo install isn't all that hard and there are a ton or write-ups online. basics are take off the IC, unbolt the downpipe and uppipe, loosen the turbo inlet, clamp and remove the coolant lines, unbolt the oil feed line, and pop out the turbo. just make sure you have new copper washers for the oil feed line, new gasket for the oil return tube if you need to swap it, and new gaskets would be good too. if you pick a day i'd be down to come help but im pretty busy most days so weekends work best for me. i like beer

 

My husband is going out of town for 2 weeks so as soon as he comes back I'll let you know and make arrangements to get it done.
