dude i would remove the the up pipe from the top, just take out the down pipe and turbo, its way more easyer dude stop killing yourself. i wish i could be there to help you tomorrow but i have to work.

 

How do you remove an up-pipe from the top?

 

Dude, just relax and read the vinshu instructions again. Take your time, it's not a race. I've done/helped with 4 up-pipe installs and minus he BS time it takes around 5-6 hours if you know what your doing. This is your 1st one.
"We" say to use the vinshu instructions because you'll have less chance of a leak if you do it the shiv way. Trust us it's hard but not impossible.

Good luck.

 

thanks for the help im just stressing and venting alittle well im goin to finish it tomarow and ill tell u the results thanks again

try to stick with the vishnu instructions, .... sorry I can't help.
Good luck.

 

Do like your removing a turbo, but leave the uppipe connected to it and only unbolt the lower uppipe flange. Thats a really easy way to do it but it's so unecessary.

 

sorry for the incoherent post but i was kinda pissed off but after i we went to caprisiosa which is some damn good italian food and that settled me down. thanks for the advice and weather permiting i will be done with the install today hopefully
