Tips for install

I was able to get it off, but couldn't get the new one back in because there are studs in the new one so there's not enough room to maneuver.

Did get the injectors in and they don't appear to leak. Gonna to go a shop tomorrow to get the studs out and finish the front then start the rear.

While the front is at the shop I started working on the rear and the manifold bolts came out easily, but now I'm stuck on the oil feed line. I sprayed it with WD-40 and it's been sitting for about an hour so I'll give it more time, but do I turn the big bottom nut while holding the hardline small bolt in place, or vice versa?

Hold the bottom big nut, and loosen the top small nut. Does the new turbo have that adapter already? Either way, you need to get the small nut loose, and the line off before you remove the adapter, or you'll twist the feed line.

Alright thanks Doc. The new one doesn't have an adapter but thats the one thats turning easily so it'll come off once the small nut and line is off. Just gotta sit around and wait for that WD-40 to work.

Ok, it may be a bit tough to break free, mine was a PITA too.

I just got back from picking up the turbo and downpipe. Good news is the turbo is in! Just bolted it to the manifold for now as I have to go to work soon, but I also tried to undo the rear oil feed line and couldn't get it. Also I had them weld the wideband bung on the wrong side of the downpipe Welded it to the left side and it looks like it needs to go on the right.

Ok first day of not working and I nearly completed everything. I would have been done hours ago except for I think putting a throttle body bolt in the plenum and it breaking.

I've got 4 bolts left and any of the four will go into three of the throttle body holes, but none will fit in the bottom front throttle body hole. It feels like that hole on the plenum is smaller then the other 3. Of the bolts remaining, two have 4 on the top, and two have 7. The broken bolt is a 4 also.

What's up with the throttle body bolts not fitting and how do I get that broken bolt out?

[TonyM]

You're going to need an easy out extractor to get the broken bolt out.

As for the TB bolts, they should all be the same size and all be grade 7 if memory serves me right.

[DocWalt]

Yep, all of the bolts to mount the TB are the same size, and all the same grade (7 maybe, I don't remember)

[Goallie11]

Ok so do the grade 4s go in the plenum then?

I'll go pick up an easy out, buy with the bolt most of the way down the hole do you think it'll work?
